LOS ANGELES - US SUPERGROUP Guns N'Roses will unveil their first original album in 17 years next month with the release of long-awaited work Chinese Democracy, a statement said on Thursday.

The long-delayed album will go on sale in the United States on November 23 while the title track Chinese Democracy has already been released to radio, the band's managers said.

The album is Guns N' Roses' first since the 1991 release of Use of Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II.

'The release of Chinese Democracy marks a historic moment in rock n' roll,' co-managers Irving Azoff and Andy Gould said in a statement.

'Guns N' Roses fans have every reason to celebrate, for this is only the beginning.'

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is the only member of the band's 1991 line-up to feature on the new album, which will include 14 tracks.

The band has sold 90 million albums worldwide, with 42 million in the United States alone, with the group's seminal Appetite for Destruction - featuring hits Welcome To the Jungle and Sweet Child o'Mine - its most famous.
