A highly anticipated new alliance between two steadfast warriors of the US Hard Rock and Metal scenes in Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns) and Michael Sweet (Stryper), Sunbomb release 'Evil And Divine' through Frontiers Music on Friday 14th May, of which, 'Life', is today's Video Of The Day. Indeed, the duo have made a blinding album that melds influences of classic acts such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest with Guns' love of various Metal subgenres.With Guns writing the music, the fact that Sweet has been writing and performing in an increasingly heavier style on recent Stryper albums made him a logical choice to sing. Doom Metal has been a massive influence on the songwriting and is a subgenre known for powerful singers, hence Sweet’s vocal ability and range, has proved to be the perfect match.
