It’s been a long time coming, and fans have had their fair share of waiting for this announcement – L.A. Guns have just revealed a music video giving the first taste of their highly anticipated upcoming record The Missing Peace. Talk of this record has been in the air for a while, especially for those who have recently seen L.A. Guns live, where they’ve already debuted the track featured in this new clip. “Speed” is the name, and hard and heavy rock’n’roll is the game. The band has been on a worldwide trek for close to a year as part of the “L.A. Guns’ Phil Lewis and Tracii Guns Reloaded Reunion Tour”, and all bootleg concert footage aside, this music video marks the first official visual release featuring the current lineup. Blending the best of the classic unmistakeable L.A. Guns sound with just the right amount of a modern touch, “Speed” seems to be the perfect track to let the world know Phil Lewis and Tracii Guns are back, full-throttle with a forward thrust. Taking the drive along with them are the killer talents of guitarist Michael Grant, bassist Johnny Martin, and drummer Shane Fitzgibbon. You can check out all the action in “Speed” via the Frontiers Music srl YouTube Channel right here.

L.A. Guns have been met with rave reviews left and right (including from Metal Magnitude) ever since their high-energy live shows kicked off at full “speed”, leaving a “trail of burning tar”. The road is theirs, with plenty of US dates booked right up to the end of the year and beyond, plus a very special show at the Santiago Rock Festival alongside the likes of Aerosmith, Def Leppard, and The Who. October 13 marks the date The Missing Peace will be revealed in full to the world via Frontiers Music srl, and here’s some of what Tracii has to say about the record: “The Missing Peace is truly an album by definition. It’s a collection of music that I have been working on for about 12 years with various styles of rock music. From blues to classical influences, these are all hard-hitting songs. I am very proud of all of the contributions to this album by other members and writers. L.A. Guns fans are in for a treat”.

Though the release is still in far-off October, and we’re more than halfway there with a way to go, The Missing Peace is available for pre-order in Vinyl and CD forms through Frontiers Records’ Official Shop. For those who prefer the digital route, pre-orders are available via iTunes (affiliate link), featuring an instant download of the track “Speed”.
