KISS Destroyer: The Definitive Visual History: Making And Touring The Legendary Album, Official, And Authorized is coming October 27. The book is by author Ken Sharp (New York Times bestseller Nothin’ To Lose: The Making Of KISS) along with KISS legends Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.

This official, authorized retrospective takes you behind the scenes at the recording sessions and backstage at the mind-blowing tour that followed, offering eye-opening insights into:
-Marlon Brando’s significance on the direction of the album
-tensions in the sound studio
-the destruction of Paul Stanley’s favorite guitar
-creating the costumes and the cover artwork
-the photo shoots to promote the record
-a dare that led to the birth of the KISS Army
-David Bowie’s influence on the stage design
-the band’s hijinks on tour
-encounters with Karen Carpenter, Margaret Hamilton, Paul Lynde, other stars of the day
The book features interviews with more than 50 people, including exclusive new interviews with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and producer Bob Ezrin, who reveal all the sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll that went into making the record. It comes jam-packed with deep dives on all the songs—including demos that didn’t make the final cut and who titled “Beth”—and contains hundreds of photos, some never before published.
Comprehensive tour information covers dates, venues, and key performances, and a complete timeline of recording and promoting the seminal album features world affairs and other cultural events, putting the band’s milestones in meaningful context.
