Los Angeles, California-based hard rock group L.A. Guns issued 12th full-length studio album The Devil You Know<\/em> on March 29th, 2019 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the success of The Missing Peace<\/em> a lot of people requested that the next record stay on track with the more metal side of the band\u2019s music, which is my personal favourite side of the band,\u201d commented guitarist Tracii Guns. \u201cI drew from my typical influences of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, while still not forgetting my earlier influences of the late 60s and early 70s. I wanted to lead with the track \u2018Stay Away\u2019 because it\u2019s a familiar L.A. Guns sound, but even a bit more metal. Something to get everyone\u2019s palate wet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s loaded with attitude and most of it bad,\u201d added vocalist Phil Lewis regarding the album\u2019s lyrical content. \u201cYou want a love song, fuck off and listen to Journey. They say write about what you know, and lord knows we\u2019ve all known some evil bitches and dudes that have gone out of their way to make life difficult for us. We say unanimously from the whole band fuck you, we\u2019re going places you could only dream about. We know what it\u2019s like to be put down, poked, ridiculed… but guess what, looks like we get the last laugh. This band has always been fueled by adrenaline and anger and this record is a glimpse inside the carnival of rage that dwells deep inside our collective souls. Not much sunshine and hold tight to your lollipop… this is gonna be a fast, loud, bumpy ride!\u201d<\/p>\n
