MOTLEY CRUE bassist Nikki Sixx has posted another song from his his new band SIXX: A.M., entitled 'Pray for Me', on his MySpace page.
SIXX: A.M. — which also features James Michael and DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) — made its live debut on July 16 following a press conference to promote his new book and accompanying soundtrack, 'The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star'. Highlights from the press conference can be seen at this location.
As previously reported, an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for 'The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star' can be accessed at this location. It includes the official press release, new band photos, a 32-page downloadable excerpt from the book, the 'Life Is Beautiful' video and video highlights from the press conference all in one.
Due September 18 via MTV/VH1 Pocket Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, 'The Heroin Diaries' offers an unflinching and utterly gripping look at Sixx's descent into drug addiction with a soundtrack, featuring James Michael and DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES), to match. The book is a tell-all, drawn from Nikki's 1986 and '87 journals.
Sixx found the diaries in storage and spent years compiling them for the book. He said he sees them more as a commentary on the record business than as a portrait of a lurid rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
The album will be released by Eleven/Seven Music and distributed by ADA, with a portion of proceeds donated to Nikki's Running Wild in the Night, a fundraising initiative for Covenant House.

REPORT: VELVET REVOLVER ROCKERS ENJOY SUCCESS, SOBERLY
Dean Goodman of Reuters reports: When a band sells 3 million copies of its first album, its members might expect to celebrate with a few drinks.
In the case of VELVET REVOLVER, which comprises three well-heeled veterans of rock 'n' roll bad boys GUNS N' ROSES, the contents of a medium-sized distillery should suffice.
But alas, most of the members of VELVET REVOLVER are now family men who no longer touch alcohol. The eerily lucid quintet has just released its second album, 'Libertad', a follow-up to 2004's Grammy-winning 'Contraband'.
'I haven't had a drink in 11 months,' says guitarist Slash, a star graduate of the Keith Richards school of bad behavior.
'Or anything else for that matter,' he added in a recent interview with Reuters, puffing on an endless string of Gitanes. 'Yeah, it's pretty much cigarettes at this point. Cigarettes and sex.'
Sex with his wife, mind you. Groupies are old news. 'I just ended up with one girl who was exciting enough to make me give all that up.'

CANNIBAL CORPSE: ICELAND VIDEO INTERVIEW, CONCERT FOOTAGE AVAILABLE
CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster was interviewed last weekend for the web TV show 'Sleepless in Reykjavík' about the two concerts the band played in Iceland. Watch the 11-minute report — which includes footage of CANNIBAL CORPSE performing in Reykjavík — at YouTube.
To celebrate Metal Blade's 25th anniversary, the label reissued CANNIBAL CORPSE's 1996 fifth studio album — the first to feature current vocalist George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher — 'Vile', with an additional four-track DVD filmed at San Francisco's Berkeley Square on February 3, 1997. The CD features a 12-page booklet and completely revised artwork.
CANNIBAL CORPSE's video for the song 'Death Walking Terror' has been posted online at YouTube.com. The track comes off 'Kill', the band's 10th studio LP, which came out in March 2006. The album debuted at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 6,000 copies in its first week. It was the second time in the band's career that one of its albums breached the mostly pop-friendly list; in 1996, 'Vile' opened at No. 151, with more than 6,100 copies sold.

To celebrate Metal Blade's 25th anniversary, the label reissued CANNIBAL CORPSE's 1996 fifth studio album — the first to feature current vocalist George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher — 'Vile', with an additional four-track DVD filmed at San Francisco's Berkeley Square on February 3, 1997. The CD features a 12-page booklet and completely revised artwork.
CANNIBAL CORPSE's video for the song 'Death Walking Terror' has been posted online at YouTube.com. The track comes off 'Kill', the band's 10th studio LP, which came out in March 2006. The album debuted at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 6,000 copies in its first week. It was the second time in the band's career that one of its albums breached the mostly pop-friendly list; in 1996, 'Vile' opened at No. 151, with more than 6,100 copies sold.

KALMAH TO ENTER STUDIO IN OCTOBER
Finnish metallers KALMAH are currently writing material for their fifth studio album, tentatively due next spring. 'Right now we have about seven songs ready and will enter studios in October to record the next swamp metal masterpiece. I guess the new material will represent heavier and even more riff-oriented KALMAH but the melodies and basic KALMAH sound has not been forgotten. The writing process has been firm and there has been no 'run-and-piss' hurry. There was a compulsory month break in the beginning of summer since Antti [Kokko, guitar] broke his wrist. The wrist has shaped up well and it seems there will be no permanent injury.'
KALMAH's latest CD, 'The Black Waltz', entered the Finnish national album chart in March 2006 at position No. 38.
The follow-up to 2003's 'Swampsong', 'The Black Waltz' marked the group's recording debut with keyboardist Marco Sneck (POISONBLACK).
