**Xmmer** is [His Name Is Alive](/source/His_Name_Is_Alive)'s follow-up to 2006's [Detrola](/source/Detrola_(album)), 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 [Warn Dever](/source/Warren_Defever)'s notes on the album (available on the band's website[6]), 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.
