KISS completes recording new album

KISS have wrapped up the recording stage for their next release, “Monster.”

"Friday [January 6] we officially completed work on the new album,” posted Paul Stanley.

“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,”
adds the guitarist, who also handled co-production duties on the album. “Mixing starts next week.”

Paul shares some of his thoughts on the project in the February 2012 issue of Classic Rock magazine.

"I wasn't interested in making an album unless I was in charge and no one agreed to it half-heartedly," says Stanley. "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 [2009's] 'Sonic Boom' so great, and this album is thunderously better."
