Kiss Go Retro For New Album
The band are recording using analogue equipment, rather than digital
Speaking to Mojo Magazine Gene Simmons revealed that the band are using old equipment to record new album, Monster, and they won't be using outside writers, extra keyboards or anything superfluous to their sound.
"Technology is a seductive bitch, she will seduce you," Gene Simmons tells Mojo magazine. "You press this button, you don't have to do anything. But analog is the love of your life. You can push real hard and it always gives back. For the new album, the actual recording process was 24-track tape and an old Trident board. And as many tubes as possible. You need tubes, electricity and thick wood to make that thick sound."
We're expecting Monster to be released early next year ahead of an extensive world tour.
Simmons will be a guest in the studio with Rob Birnie on Tuesday at 11am.
