Sixx:A.M. guitarist Dj Ashba recently visited the Guitar World studio in New York City to play along to—and show you how to play—the band's new single, "Rise."
The track is from the first volume of Sixx:A.M.'s upcoming double album, Prayers for the Damned, which drops April 29 via Eleven Seven Music.
“Throughout history, some of the most dramatic changes have occurred when people reject the status quo and demand change," said Sixx:A.M. vocalist James Michael. "‘Rise’ is 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:A.M. have announced a slew of festival and headlining tour dates across the U.S., kicking off the global Prayers for the Damned Tour cycle in Jacksonville, Florida, April 30 at Welcome to Rockville and seven major rock festivals in Europe, including Gods of Metal (Italy), Rock Am Ring (Germany), Download and Isle of Wight Festivals (UK).
