Sully Erna, “Sinner’s Prayer”
“Sinner’s Prayer” is a song by American rock musician Sully Erna. It is the lead single from his 2010 debut album Avalon. The song was originally written for Sylvester Stallone’s blockbuster “The Expendables” but later taken off the film and soundtrack during post-production. However, the song is reinstated back in the film in the extended director’s cut during the films new opening credits sequence.
In 2008, after Godsmack members started working on their side-project, Another Animal, Sully Erna began work on his first solo album. With the help of singer Lisa Guyer, whom he’d previously worked with on Hollow, Sully Erna worked on the album through 2009, and “Sinner’s Prayer” was chosen to become the first official single to be released from Avalon.
