KISS frontman Paul Stanley has issued the following update:
"Friday (yesterday, January 6th) we officially completed work on the new album. Listening to the tracks back to back is like sensory overload. Everyone who has heard any of it is completely blown away. Powerful, heavy, melodic and epic. It makes us very proud. You all will be too. Mixing starts next week."Stanley revealed a few new song titles from their upcoming album, Monster, to Classic Rock magazine. They include:
'Shout Mercy'
'Out Of This World'
'Wall Of Sound'
'Hell Or Hallelujah'
'It's A Long Way Down'
'Back To The Stone Age'
"I wasn't interested in making an album unless I was in charge and no one agreed to it half-heartedly," says the singer and guitarist, taking a break from co-producing the record at Conway Studios in Hollywood. "The band's all there, all the time, and we cut the tracks all facing each other in the same room. Chemistry and camaraderie, that's essential. That's what made Sonic Boom so great, and this album is thunderously better."Check out Stanley's commentary at this location.
