American Tragedy by Hollywood Undead

American Tragedy, Hollywood Undead's second studio album, came out on A&M Octone on April 5, 2011, and it's the first with Danny Murillo on vocals, brought in to replace Deuce. Work began once he joined in early 2010 and ran until December, with Don Gilmore and Ben Grosse back from the Swan Songs sessions and a whole crowd of other producers, Kevin Rudolf and Sam Hollander among them.

The masked Los Angeles crew went heavier and darker this time, with J-Dog, Funny Man, Johnny 3 Tears, Charlie Scene and Danny passing the mic over rap-rock that hits like a slammed car door. Critics were split, knocking the lyrics while praising the energy and the playing, but it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and gave the band their first chart placings in Canada and the UK. "Hear Me Now" led a run of five singles, and a remix album, American Tragedy Redux, followed that November.
