Album
Black Diamonds
Black Diamonds is an album by L.A. Guns, released on 14 April 2023 through Frontiers Music Srl. It arrived as the band's seventeenth entry in a studio catalogue that stretches back to their self-titled debut in 1988, and it followed Checkered Past from 2021.
Within the band's story, it sits in a busy later stretch that began with The Missing Peace in 2017 and continued through The Devil You Know in 2019. Leopard Skin followed it in 2025. For anyone who came to the Hollywood hard rock of Cocked & Loaded and Hollywood Vampires first, it shows a band still putting out records well into the 2020s.
