Michael Sweet (Stryper) and Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns) have joined forces to form their new side project Sunbomb. Their debut album will be out May 14th titled “Evil And Devine”. You can pre-order a copy here. Life is their first single from the record. The first thing I thought of how evil the guitar tone sounded and the contrast of Sweet singing a positive message about uniting was brilliant and a nice way to live up to the album’s title.
When the song opens and Sweet kicks in with a powerful scream, it’s just well, wow. I’m always impressed that his vocals are as strong as they are, as he is pushing 60 years of age. Guns is also doing some great work on this as well. His soloing and riffs are always worth the listen and theis no exception. I would say that this odd pairing is truly a lethal combo. Can’t wait other the rest of the album.
The video is shot in a church with the two of them performing the song. It also features character apparently bringing the words to life. If you are missing the Hair Metal sound of the eighties , you may have just found what you are looking for here. Check it out below.
