Runaway Brides is the second and final studio album by Brides of Destruction released via Shrapnel Records on September 13, 2005. Nikki Sixx left the band to rejoin Mötley Crüe in January 2005 for a reunion tour supporting a greatest hits compilation but still has writing credits on the album. Amen bassist Scott Sorry was chosen as his replacement. Ginger of The Wildhearts joined as second guitarist but soon left not before contributing writing to four album tracks.
After Brides founder, Nikki Sixx, left the band to rejoin Mötley Crüe for a reunion tour the Brides were expected to go on hiatus, however co-founder Tracii Guns decided to continue without Sixx bringing in former Amen bassist Scott Sorry as his replacement. Tracii then added Ginger of The Wildhearts to the band as the second guitarist. The band then started writing new material for the album but soon after, Ginger departed the Brides stating he couldn't focus on the band:
Andy Johns, who had previously worked with Tracii on the L.A. Guns album Waking the Dead, was brought in to produce the album, which at this point was titled 13 Acres, but eventually Johns left the project, citing unspecified differences with the band, with the rest of the album being produced by Tracii. The band chose White Trash as their first single with the video using footage sent in from fans stating that "the video footage they are looking for should feature the "trailer-park, white-trash look", or be along the lines of the Jackass videos. If you like NASCAR, trailers, wrestling or anything else in that realm and you caught it on video, the band want it." Album track Dimes in Heaven was written as a tribute to recently deceased Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell. The album, now titled Runaway Brides after being suggested to Tracii by Nikki Sixx, was initially to be released with Sanctuary, the band signed a new deal with Shrapnel Records, with the album given a release of September 13 in Europe and September 27 in the US.
