KISS Fever Argentina has issued an interview with KISS drummer Eric Singer. An excerpt follows:

Q: We reckon that KISS, at this point of the career of the band, has nothing else to prove. In your case, being a member of the band for twenty years, do you think that there's still something special to achieve for KISS? What are the goals the band is after nowadays?

A: "KISS is only KISS at this point. We make music that is not in competition with anyone else or trying to chase trends. Monster will again be a testament to this!"

KISS' follow-up to the critically acclaimed Sonic Boom album will be called Monster. The band is currently working on the album in Los Angeles for a 2012 release. KISS is planning a massive 2012-2013 Monster world tour which will take the band around the globe.

During an extensive three-hour chat with BraveWords.com recently, KISS drummer Eric Singer says that Monster "isn’t The Elder where we have a theme for the whole record. It’s a straight-ahead rock KISS record and I think this stuff so far is stronger better material (than Sonic Boom). It’s more riff-y which makes it more interesting. This album will have more production (than Sonic Boom), so in that sense it might be leaning more towards a Destroyer type approach. I’ve asked to have my drums put in a bigger room because I want to get a big sound… a more bombastic drum sound. We’ve taken more time to get better sounds on this recording."
