ACE FREHLEY Cracks US Top 10 With Origins Vol. 1; "Fire And Water" Video Featuring PAUL STANLEY To Arrive This Wednesday

Ace Frehley has cracked the US top 10 with his latest effort, Origins Vol. 1, charting at #1 on the Billboard Hard Music Chart, #3 on the Billboard Rock chart and #6 on the Billboard Current chart selling 16,000 units in its first week of release according to Nielsen Soundscan. Origins Vol.1 and its success serves as the follow up to Space Invader, which debuted at #9 on the Top 200 Chart in 2014, the same year Ace Frehley was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with KISS.

The space Ace also confirms today, for the first time, that his all new music video for "Fire And Water" will feature his former bandmate and  KISS’ co-founding frontman Paul Stanley, and  will be released Wednesday, April 27th, coincidentally Frehley’s 65th birthday. A recently revealed teaser can be seen here.

The music video holds its place in rock and roll history as the first time in 14 years that Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley shared a stage since KISS’ appearance at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. It's also the first time Frehley has released a music video since 1989, which was Frehley's cover of "Do Ya" by ELO and The Move.

Listen to “Fire And Water” below:

Other guests include Lita Ford singing and playing lead on The Troggs staple "Wild Thing”, Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 playing guitar alongside Ace as he sings his classic KISS composition "Parasite" for the very first time, as well as Jimi Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic”, and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready also plays guitar with Ace as he finally sings his KISS Alive! mainstay "Cold Gin”. "White Room" is also an iTunes instant gratification track, meaning fans who pre-order the LP on iTunes will receive the Cream cover song instantly.
