Sixx:AM release Rise video

Sixx:AM have released a lyric video for their track Rise.

It’s taken from upcoming album Prayers For The Damned Volume I, which arrives on April 29.

The band is now leader Nikki Sixx’s main project after the retirement of Motley Crue at the end of 2015. The lineup also features ex-Guns n’Roses guitarist DJ Ashba and vocalist James Michael.

Michael recently said: “Rise is about how we find ourselves at a global tipping point – and how it’s our duty to come together, communicate with one another and rise up to demand more of ourselves and our leaders.”

Sixx:AM commence a tour of North America and Europe in April, including an appearance at this year’s Download festival at Donington on June 11.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
