It followed 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>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.
