“Light Up The Sky” is SUNBOMB sophomore release from the musical alliance between two steadfast warriors of the U.S. hard rock/metal scene, Tracii Guns and Michael Sweet. This is once again a tribute to the classic heavy metal of the 80’s melding influences of classic metal bands such as Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio and Judas Priest.
The music is once again very heavy and firmly planted in the 'metal' category, with a wink to a traditional approach to the genre. While Tracii wrote the music for the album, the fact that Michael Sweet has been writing in an increasingly heavier style on latter era Stryper albums made him the perfect choice to sing on the album.
Tracii leaked the news of the new project in a March 2019 tweet, where he described the project's debut LP as "the Metal record I would have made when I was 17 years old.” In May 2020, he mentioned on "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” that "The SUNBOMB record is really kind of like [L.A. GUNS' 2019 album] 'The Devil You Know' times three. It's more on the heavy side of 'The Devil You Know' album. And Michael Sweet, he's a really fantastic metal singer."
Tracii played all guitars and bass on the album with drums handled by Tracii's old L.A. Guns bandmate Adam Hamilton.
