American Tragedy Redux
''American Tragedy Redux'' is the second remix album by American rap rock band Hollywood Undead, taking songs exclusively off the band's 2011 studio album, ''American Tragedy'', and remixing them. The first remix album was the Black Dahlia Remixes album, featuring three remixes of Hollywood Undead's single, "Black Dahlia". The album was released on November 21, 2011 by A&M/Octone Records. The original tracks on the album, which were on ''American Tragedy'', were recorded following the induction of Daniel Murillo into the band in early 2010 and lasted until December. The tracks were then remixed by various DJ's and musicians during the band's ''World War III Tour'' with Asking Alexandria later in 2011. The album's first single, "Levitate (Digital Dog club mix)", was released on October 18, 2011, with a music video being released on October 24.
==Background==
Following the release of the band's second studio album, ''American Tragedy'', the band announced a remix contest on August 11, 2011, where fans created their own remixes of the tracks "Le Deux" and "Bullet". The contest winner for the "Le Deux" was Dr. Eargasm, whose remix was chosen by the band and is featured on the album. The "Bullet" remix was voted as the best remix and was included on ''Redux'' as an iTunes bonus track. The band announced in October 2011 that a remix album, titled ''American Tragedy Redux'', would be released on November 21, 2011 as their first remix album. The band created a series of online promotions for the album. First, they unlocked the tracklist and cover art for the album once the album title was tweeted 10,000 times on Twitter, which was accomplished by the end of the second day that the contest started. Then, the band released the first single, "Levitate (Digital Dog club mix)", on October 18 once the album art was shared 3,000 times on Facebook. A music video for "Levitate (Digital Dog club mix)" was released on October 24, 2011 through Virgin Mobile. The last Facebook unlock was be a site for pre-ordering the album and ordering merchandise. The band also released the "Comin' In Hot (Wideboys Remix)" on the pre-order site. J-Dog said of the album, "This is our first remix record ever, we got to pick the DJ's and re-mixers that the band really likes. Who would have thought that someone you grew up listening to would one day remix your song?"
Da Kurlzz gave an interview with ''The Phoenix New Times'' about the album where he states that many of the songs were influenced by older hip-hop and rock music like Nine Inch Nails, Beastie Boys, and Guru. Da Kurlzz felt that the popularity in dance and club music was surging and that inspired the band to create ''Redux'', stating that the band was "paying attention not only to the rock, hip hop and pop scene, but the dance and DJ club scene is obviously blowing up once again. There's always new DJs remixing some really great artists, showing people that you can mix those genres together." Upon deciding which DJ's and re-mixers to use for the album, Da Kurlzz stated that the band used decided specifically which of their songs would go best with each artist and how the remixed result would sound. He concluded by saying that they chose the artists, "not just because we like their music, but we also think that the sound will really be great for the certain songs that we choose." Da Kurlzz also stated that the band worked carefully with each artist during the remixing process to ensure the best songs for the album. He stated that the remix of "Hear Me Now" by Jonathan Davis, which was streamed by Revolver Magazine on November 14, was the most difficult but that "it ended up coming out great and we're really proud of it..." and that they were able to "go up to him and personally thank ()."〔
Charlie Scene stated that the album came around from touring with several bands, like Asking Alexandria and Korn, and seeing their experiments with remixing songs. He added that, "it’s always cool to see () another artist interprets your music." When choosing remixers, Charlie Scene said, "Jonathan Davis was one of the people we met on tour and we know that he does remixes and that was actually one of the reasons and one of the ways we came up with the idea to doing a remix record." He noted that the music on the remix album is very different, reasoning this by stating, "There’s only () many rock bands that can come out with just guitars and singing over and over again and hardcore screaming... music has to change, it has to evolve with what's going on with society and kids. It's becoming more technical now, it's becoming more digital so I think rock music () going to have to become more digital."
