"My brain is going crazy thinking about the overwhelming, scary and exciting task of recording what has to be the best guitar work I have ever done starting today," says L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns via Instagram. "It's like going into the dark and trying to emerge with a vast pallet of shades that all blend together in aural magic!" 

L.A. Guns has just begun recording their new, as yet untitled album, which will serve as the follow-up to 2017's The Missing Peace; a release date has not been announced.
