New Kiss Next Year
Band promise new album as early as next summer
Kiss have revealed that they are aiming to release a brand new studio album as early as next year.
The glam rock legends revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that their plan is to end their current touring cycle later this year, have a break and then head into the studio in February to work on the follow up to last year’s excellent Sonic Boom. The new record will hopefully be with us by the end of the summer.
"Sonic Boom was something that fortified us and really united us in the sense that we're now celebrating everything we've done in the past, the present, and where we're going in the future," said Stanley. "Sonic Boom is not the last album. It's the first album in the next phase."
In the Rolling Stone article Paul Stanley revealed that the band faced a tough task fitting in newer songs with their hits, and why they are determined not to fall into the trap of mining their back catalogue for lesser known tracks.
"We don't want to fall into the thing where you have to play obscure songs," said Stanley. "I'm a big believer that a song is obscure for a reason: Songs that aren't as popular aren't as good."
Kiss’ Hottest Show On Earth Tour is scheduled to run until the end of September in North America.
