Sixx: A.M. will be releasing two new albums this year, and plan to debut a new song titled “Rise” on March 1. The band have also launced a new website for fans to vote on which cities they want them to visit on their upcoming tour.
Nikki Sixx told Revolver the following about “Rise”:
“We are not a political band but we are extremely reflective. During the making of this album, we were under the same media siege as the rest of the world, so ‘Rise’ came out of that and hopefully reminds people that we all have a voice.”
James Michael added:
“Throughout history, some of the most dramatic changes have occurred when people reject the status quo and demand change. ‘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.”
DJ Ashba finished:
“‘Rise’ to me, is a message of empowerment. It will take on a personal meaning to everyone who hears it, but the message is the same. Whether it’s an individual trying to overcome their own struggles, or a nation as a whole, we can all rise above the negativity, if we stand up for what we believe in.”
