KISS guitar legend ACE FREHLEY has issued the following:

"Hope everyone is having a great 2009!!

Here's a video clip of the 'Fractured Mirror' jam Derrek (Hawkins) and I messed around with during the holidays.

During one of the sessions, we took a break, I gave my studio assistant my camera and jammed out this tune from my '78 solo record. The picture's a bit dark, but that's the vibe I like during recording....

Check it out!!"

Recent reports have surfaced, saying Ace's upcoming album, Anomaly, will feature the following tracklisting: 'Pain In The Neck', 'A Little Below The Angels', 'Genghis Khan', 'Change The World', 'The King Is Kong', '(You Make It) Hard For Me' (Frehley, Sebastian Bach), 'Fractured Quantum' (Instrumental), 'Steamroller', 'The Pursuit Of Rock 'N' Roll', 'Sister', 'Too Many Faces', 'Skels', 'Hard For You', 'It's A Great Life', 'Laurado', 'Outer Space' (Frehley, Askew, Mendez).

Earlier this month, Ace announced: "I'm proud to present to you The Year of the Anomaly. As promised, here is the cover art of my new album, Anomaly. And thanks again for your patience..."

A release date has not yet been announced, although Anomaly is expected to drop in the spring.

With respect to the songs on Anomaly, Frehley told BW&BK; recently: “There’s a heavy rocker called ‘Pain In The Neck’. And actually, I wrote this song called ‘A Little Below The Angels’. That’s a bit more of a commercial one, with a catchy hook. There’s another song called ‘Genghis Khan’, which is kind of like, if I had to categorize it, it’s maybe a little like ‘Kashmir’ from LED ZEPPELIN, a slower kind of grooving track with a good melody. There’s a slower track, which also has a kind of commercial… you know, the word commercial has changed. It’s called ‘Change The World’, which is an interesting kind of track, probably different from anything I’ve ever done. In fact it is different from anything I’ve ever done. You know, I think people are going to dig it. It’s slower, something you could imagine hearing on the radio. My bass player Anthony Esposito, he’s been helping me with the record from the beginning. He is playing bass on all the tracks so far. Anton Fig is playing drums on most of the tracks. I’ve got my touring drummer Scot Coogan; he’s going to be on a couple of tracks on the record. And I don’t think I mentioned Derrek Hawkins, the other guitar player.”
