A Prayer for the Damned

A Prayer for the Damned is the first full-length studio album by the American metal band Triple Seven. Released on November 24, 2009, it would be the band's last release through Stillborn Records. It is the first album to feature Ashlee Erickson as the lead vocalist, and the band's second and final album to include Nick Manis and T.J. Orr as members.

Sound
Like The Painkiller That Committed Suicide, the material on A Prayer for the Damned is deathcore, except of a different breed. Newcomer Erickson wanted to utilize her singing talents on the record, though sung vocals only pop up sporadically. Pig squeals were omitted in favor of much deeper growls and hardcore yells. Meanwhile the musicianship is more technical in certain areas (e.g. lead guitarist Ray Drieberg providing discordant chords) and more melodious in other cases (e.g. the occasional soloing and aforementioned cleans). Overall, this album would be the last of Triple Seven's releases to contain their original musical style.
