From teamrock.com:

 

Prayers For The Damned, Sixx:AM's fourth album, will be released in April, with a tour to follow

Sixx:AM have announced details of their Prayers For The Damned Vol 1, their double album follow-up to 2014's Modern Vintage. The album will be released on April 29. The band also release the first single from the album, Rise, today.

"Throughout history, some of the most dramatic changes have occurred when people reject the status quo and demand change," says singer James Michael. "Riseis about how we find ourselves at a global tipping point and how it is our duty as citizens of this world to come together, communicate with one another and rise up to demand more of ourselves and our leaders."

"Sixx:AM is in the most creative place of our careers," adds Nikki Sixx. "For James, DJ and myself, we think it's the perfect time to release so much quality music to our fans who've been supporting us over the last three albums."

"The double-albums will leave no stone unturned in our quest to create important music and push the boundaries of rock," says Michael, while DJ Ashba concludes, "We are on a mission to give our fans even more than they could have hoped for, both musically and visually."

The band have also announced a series of tour dates (below), kicking off a with a show at the Welcome To Rockville Festival at the end of April. The band play Download Festival on June 11. Prayers For The Damned can be pre-ordered from Friday.

Sounds good, I hope they make up for the last album with this

Yep, last album was mostly a trainwreck.

 

This sounds good, though. I'm just glad it's hard modern rock again... not that horrible indie type of current Butch Walker rubbish that was over the last album.

[Nightrain]

yeah last one is hard to get thru, checked out again their first album, pretty good but not great, forgot about the second but might be their best so far?

[gener8tr]

The only positive thing I can say about this endeavor is that the photo-shoot is cool.

 

Kind of Motley Shout-era meets Alcatrazz for a 1984 Mad Max Soundtrack MTV video.

 

Not a fan of this band at all.

[martinsane]

In the description it mentions double albums but I see only 11 songs???

 

As for the song from 2:27 to 3:13 is the only listenable part. Otherwise pure drivel.

[Dead Planet]

Count me as not interested.....sounds rather bland to me....

[shamus]

Was Modern Vintage their last? I liked it and don't mind this tune either. To be perfectly honest, I play Sixx AM more than the last Motley album.

[Glen]

Pretty cool tune

[AlphaMale]

Pretty cool tune

 

Agree!

[Geoff]

They do appear to have righted the last album's many wrongs. Good tune.

[Nightrain]

Good stuff, like the melodic approach

[gener8tr]

Well that's the best song I've ever heard from this band. Still not anything I'd buy, however.

You heard this one? Their best song yet, imo;

 

[gener8tr]

It's not bad at all, Geoff, just not suited for me. I'm just an old curmudgeon having graduated from high school way back in 1986, and I'm stuck in my ways. I almost always preface that prior to making any disparaging comment as I know the younger crowd certainly does not always (if ever) agree with my taste in music... and that's alright.

 

It's just hard for me to appreciate anything involving Nikki Sixx that isn't Motley Crue related (especially pre-1991 Crue). I first saw them open for Def Leppard in San Diego back in 1983 (yes, nineteen eighty three) and I've been a fan ever since. I was rockin' to Shout At The Devil when most of my friends were still pretty much exclusively listening to Journey and Hall & Oates.

 

Sixx AM is not Motley Crue... and that's hard for me to swallow.

[Glen]

Weakest so far but still pretty cool. Love the solo.

[Geoff]

I like that tune. The main thing about all 3 new songs, though, is that whether they're great or not, at least they're all just proper modern rock songs, like the first 2 albums. I'm just happy that whatever shit they tried out on the last album seems to have been acknowledged as an awful experiment gone wrong and they're just sticking to what they did well in the first place.

[Dead Planet]

Okay I must admit those last 2 from this release are quite good...may have to reconsider picking it up....

[AlphaMale]

New songs sound much better than the last disc.

[Jez]

Superb album..'Better Man' is one of the best tracks i've heard this year so far..good to see them back on top form

[Glen]

I agree - folk have been quiet on this but its a great disc imo.
