GUNS<\/strong>, featuring singer&nbsp;<strong>Phil Lewis<\/strong>&nbsp;and guitarist&nbsp;<strong>Tracii Guns<\/strong>, has released the official music video for a new song called&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Diamonds&#8221;<\/strong>. The track is taken from the band&#8217;s upcoming studio album,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Black Diamonds&#8221;<\/strong>, which will arrive on April 14. This will be the fourth studio album since the much-welcome reunion of the band&#8217;s core foundation of&nbsp;<strong>Lewis<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Guns<\/strong>. It will follow the well-received studio albums&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Missing Peace&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Devil You Know&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Checkered Past&#8221;<\/strong>, plus the live release&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Made In Milan&#8221;<\/strong>, and a covers EP&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Another Xmas In Hell&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written and recorded over the course of 2022,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Black Diamonds&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;sees&nbsp;<strong>Guns<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Lewis<\/strong>&nbsp;and company continuing on the same successful and inspiring sonic journey that they&#8217;ve been taking on&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Missing Peace&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Devil You Know&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Checkered Past&#8221;<\/strong>. The band doesn&#8217;t shy away from flexing its hard rock influences as it always has, but also incorporates more introspective acoustic tracks reflective of its classic rock influences from the &#8217;70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"L.A.

Great songs, fantastic playing and some of the best singing of my career. It&#8217;s heavy and dark in places and bright n breezy in others. It&#8217;s all over the place as per our usual style. I think it&#8217;s the best thing we&#8217;ve ever done but yeah I know I say that about all of them but I truly love this record and had fun recording parts on the tour wagon and then five intense days doing vocals with&nbsp;<strong>Mitch<\/strong>&nbsp;[<strong>Davis<\/strong>] in NYC. Of course the wait for it to drop will be excruciating but I&#8217;ll do my best to contain the excitement. Seriously it&#8217;s fantastic and you&#8217;re all gonna love it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Black Diamonds&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;track listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>01.&nbsp;<strong>You Betray<\/strong><br>02.&nbsp;<strong>Wrong About You<\/strong><br>03.&nbsp;<strong>Diamonds<\/strong><br>04.&nbsp;<strong>Babylon<\/strong><br>05.&nbsp;<strong>Shame<\/strong><br>06.&nbsp;<strong>Shattered Glass<\/strong><br>07.&nbsp;<strong>Gonna Lose<\/strong><br>08.&nbsp;<strong>Got It Wrong<\/strong><br>09.&nbsp;<strong>Lowlife<\/strong><br>10.&nbsp;<strong>Crying<\/strong><br>11.&nbsp;<strong>Like A Drug<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Checkered Past&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;was released in November 2021 via&nbsp;<strong>Frontiers Music Srl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2021, a settlement was reached between drummer&nbsp;<strong>Steve Riley<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Guns<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Lewis<\/strong>&nbsp;over the rights to the&nbsp;<strong>L.A.

From the mid-&#8217;90s to the mid 2000s,&nbsp;<strong>L.A. GUNS<\/strong>&nbsp;continued to tour and release new music. Following their successful performance at&nbsp;<strong>SiriusXM<\/strong>&#8216;s&nbsp;<strong>Hair Nation<\/strong>&nbsp;festival in September 2016,&nbsp;<strong>L.A. GUNS<\/strong>&nbsp;went into the studio to record the critically acclaimed&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Missing Peace&#8221;<\/strong>, which was the highest-selling release for&nbsp;<strong>Frontiers Music Srl<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2017. Their 12th album,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Devil You Know&#8221;<\/strong>, was released in 2019 to the same critical acclaim.
