Today is the day many have been waiting for. The release of the highly anticipated first volume of SIXX: A.M.’s double album, Vol. 1 Prayers for the Damned on Eleven Seven Music. The album has already shot to No. 1 in Australia on the iTunes Rock Chart.

The overarching message of the album? To open your eyes, stand up against the grain, and reject the status quo, which can clearly be reflected in the album’s call-to-action, empowering single, “Rise”, continuing to climb the Rock Charts at #6, and only rising. Putting their money where their mouths are, the band has proudly launched the #ReasonToRise Campaign, offering fans a forum to share their personal experiences. Fans can head here now to learn more.

Rise is truly bad ass and is sure to be the light at the end of the tunnel or the silver lining on the clouds. Whatever challenges you might have or struggle with, this is the song for you. It is an anthem that sends out the call to all and “Rise, Stand up and live your life, get yourself together“. Lyrically, it will deliver the wise words to take on the world and give you the strength. It is no surprise that it has such an uplifting message since Sixx: A.M., have been known to have such inspiring messages through their music. Musically, it completely ROCKS with high energy that can’t keep you down. Check out the video here:
