Sixx:A.M. - Prayer for the Blessed Vol.2 (Eleven Seven Music) 

Nikki Sixx, who is known from Motley Crue, along with DJ Ashba and James Michael, are having a good year as they released two albums in 2016, starting with Prayers for the Damned and continuing with Prayers for the Blessed (which completes and surpasses the former)! The album kicks off with groovy and of course catchy "Barbarians(Prayers for the Blessed)" giving us a taste of the attitude of this record.  "We Will Not Go Quietly" remain on the same dynamic track while "Wolf At Your Door" has a rougher vibe along with a very catchy chorus theme! "Maybe It's Time" changes the tone only as a classic rock ballad with acoustic elements can, while "The Devil's Coming" is definitely made for sing alongs! "Catacombs" is an amazing guitar solo interlude that is followed by "That's Gonna Leave a Scar" which is bound to grab your attention and "Without You" an interesting cover of an all time classic. Wrapping up the album, "Suffocate" succeeds in the combination of grooviness and heaviness, "Riot In My Head" adds a dramatic and theatrical note and finally "Helicopters" is an interesting mix of guitar and tambourine tunes!

Even if you are not a fan of this genre, Sixx:A.M. will manage to get you hooked with a range of hard rock and melodic songs, and make you look forward to singing along in a live show!
