The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack,
often referred to as simply
The Heroin Diaries,
is the debut
studio album
by
Sixx:A.M.
a side project of
Mötley Crüe
bassist
The band also
features
lead vocalist
James Michael
and guitarist
DJ Ashba.
The concept album
serves as the
companion soundtrack
to Sixx's autobiography,
The Heroin Diaries:
A Year in the Life of a
Shattered Rock Star,
and is about
Sixx's severe
heroin addiction
in 1987.
The first single,
"Life Is Beautiful,"
debuted at number 26
on the Billboard
Mainstream
Rock Tracks chart.
Designed to be an
accompaniment to
The Heroin Diaries:
A Year in the Life of a
Shattered Rock Star,
the autobiography
of
Mötley Crüe
bassist
Nikki Sixx
co-written by
Sixx
and
Ian Gittens
that details
his severe
heroin addiction
in 1987,
The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack
is a concept album
that captures
Sixx's basic story
of his life
during that time,
although the album
can stand alone.
The story begins with
the reasons for
Sixx starting his diary,
followed by his first
(albeit temporary)
abstinence from heroin,
his relapse
and
mental
and
physical decline,
his near-fatal overdose
and
out-of-body
experience,
and finally,
his emotional recovery,
which eventually
led to
long-term sobriety.
The tracks
on the album
each correspond
to one month
of his diary,
which he kept
from
December 1986
to December 1987.
Some of the tracks
feature spoken word
featuring Sixx himself
reading some lines
from the book.
