KISS: Video Tour Of Recording Studio - May 24, 2011
KISS entered the studio on April 13 to begin recording the follow-up to 2009's "Sonic Boom" for a late 2011/early 2012 release.
A new one-minute video tour of the studio courtesy of the band's guitarist, Tommy Thayer, can be viewed below.
KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley previously stated about the band's new material, "This album, I'm telling you, everybody agrees, leaves 'Sonic Boom' in the dust."
In a March 10, 2011 interview with DJ JC Green of Alfa Rock 105.7 FM and Metal Messiah Radio's "Heavy Metal Thunder" program, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons stated about the forthcoming CD, "The new record, which we already started working on, is gonna be the next step to 'Sonic Boom'. Very similar — straight rock songs, no ballads, no keyboards, no nothing, just rock. . . A lot of the songs [have been] written by the whole band together, so no outside writers, just the band doing what it did on the first three records — writing the songs ourselves." He added, "We have almost all the songs written. In fact, we have too many songs; we have about 20 to 25 things that look and sound good."
