'''Xmmer''' is [[His Name Is Alive]]'s follow-up to 2006's [[Detrola (album)|Detrola]], released in the USA on September 18, 2007. Stylistically, it is very similar to its predecessor, featuring a wide variety of the many styles the band had explored in the past. In [[Warren Defever|Warn Dever]]'s notes on the album (available on the band's website<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://hisnameisalive.com/ |title=His Name Is Alive :: Michigan's Finest<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=October 8, 2007 |archive-date=September 27, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927094935/http://hisnameisalive.com/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>), it becomes apparent that he meant the album as a follow-up or companion piece to '''''Detrola'''''; "Go To Hell Mountain" is even described as a sequel to the previous album's "I Thought I Saw You Moving." One major difference is that singer Andy FM, who shared vocal duties with HNIA veterans Erika Hoffman and Lovetta Pippen on '''''Detrola''''', sings every track here.
An instrumental version of the album was made available as a paid MP3 download from the Silver Mountain Media website on October 2, 2007.
