KISS

The sixth full-length studio solo album by former guitarist of legendary American Hard Rock band KISS.
Frehley self-produced the album, which was recorded at The Creation Lab in Turlock, California. Coming off a year when Kiss' induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame came off, as the ungrateful Gene and Paul show, original member and now solo outsider Ace Frehley had something to prove, at least to the loyal fans (aka the Kiss Army).
Like a shooting star headed toward earth from another solar system, Ace Frehley operates in his own musical galaxy. He's a musical maverick, an improbable bestselling New York Times author in 2011, and an iconoclast adored by millions of fans around the world since 1974.
No kowtowing to the current sound or other embarrassments make this a fan album in the best sense, and on top of it all, Ace's guitar playing is inspired while his voice remains a Buck Dharma-like mix of warm and weathered. For longtime fans, "Space Invader" is a rocket well worth riding!
Upon release, the album reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the only time a solo album from a past or current Kiss member has ever attained a US top 10 album position.
Through his seminal work with KISS and as a solo artist, Ace Frehley is championed as one of the most influential guitar players of the last four decades, and his impact on popular music is immeasurable. With his smash 1978 solo album and post-KISS work, including 2009's "Anomaly", Frehley continues to be the best-selling member of the original line-up, or any other!!

The eighth full-length studio solo album by former guitarist of legendary American Hard Rock band KISS.
"Spaceman" marks Ace’s sixth studio effort of original solo material, and the follow up to 2016’s covers album, "Origins, Vol. 1". As with his previous effort, he tapped a former KISS mate to help on the new record. Last time it was Paul, this time, Gene Simmons joins the party. Ace and Gene wrote two tracks for the new record together, album opener, “Without You I’m Nothing” and “Your Wish is My Command”.
Ace played all the guitars on “Spaceman”, as well as all the bass parts, not counting the two Simmons lent his four-strings to. Longtime friend and drummer Anton Fig makes a return for the bombastic rocker, “Pursuit of Rock and Roll”.
With "Spaceman", Ace Frehley has come full circle as a musician and songwriter, putting himself out there, as he says, “with no regrets”.  Ace sings with more confidence than ever before, and his playing remains impeccable and electrifying. "Spaceman" resonates with the feel of his 1978 solo debut, and that’s the sweet spot for all Frehley friends and fans. It’s as if he’s traveled back in time 40 years. Keep Rockin’ With the Boys, Ace!!
Limited Edition heavyweight 180g Violet Transparent vinyl includes bonus CD with the album.

The 20th full-length studio album by legendary American Glam Rock/Hard Rock band.
Released on October 9, 2012 through Universal Music Enterprises and featuring the full-throttle, autobiographical rocking lead single “Hell Or Hallelujah”, “Monster” represents KISS’ nod to the music that first inspired them to pick up their guitars and flame-throwers and don makeup to entertain millions. The band goes back to their own beginnings. There are no symphony orchestras, boy choirs, keyboards, outside producers or songwriters on this album.
The straight-ahead Rock’n’Roll album features collaborations among all four members including co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons and longtime members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer.
Produced by Paul Stanley as was its 2009 predecessor “Sonic Boom”, “Monster” finds KISS at the top of their game, and that’s really saying something, considering their illustrious, 40-plus year history which includes 28 U.S. Gold albums, the most Gold records for any American Rock band, 40 million sales in the U.S., and totals exceeding 100 million worldwide! This is a real band effort!!

65x30mm 

The nineteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Hard Rock band.
KISS’s first album in 11 years with their current lineup consisting of: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer.
"Sonic Boom" does look back fondly on the band’s classic years, particularly the loose, more distilled Rock n Roll of their first three albums. On the surface, that probably makes it their best album in a long, long time. Even their better albums of the last 30 years have generally been nods to current musical trends, so at least now they’re giving a nod to their own success.
KISS has always been about entertaining their fans and that's just what "Sonic Boom" does. The other thing to keep in mind is that the release is available exclusively through Walmart, so really, they just want your money. Ultimately, "Sonic Boom" once again reminds us that KISS is that middle-aged guy with the top three buttons of his Hawaiian shirt undone who drives around in his convertible and still manages to bag the occasional college chick with his old pick-up lines from the '70s. You want to roll your eyes, but admit it; you love hanging out with the dude!
"Sonic Boom" debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, selling 108 000 copies in its first week of release. The #2 position was the highest mark ever reached by the band, beating the #3 debut of "Psycho Circus" in 1998. The album finished 2009 with 238 000 units sold. "Sonic Boom" finished 2010 as one of Billboard's Top 50 Rock Albums. Metal Hammer listed the album in 13th place on the Metal Hammer Albums of 2009 list. Since its release, "Sonic Boom" has received Gold certification in Norway.
Quad-Fold Wallet Digipack includes original album, bonus CD “Kiss Klassics” (a completely re-recorded greatest hits album that until now had been exclusively released in Japan as “Jigoku-Retsuden”), bonus DVD “Kiss Live in Buenos Aires” (six-song live DVD recorded April 5, 2009, as part of the South American leg of the Kiss Alive/35 World Tour) and 20-page booklet.

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length solo album by the lead guitarist and vocalist of legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Rock band Kiss.
It was one of four solo albums released by the members of Kiss on September 18, 1978. The album featured Anton Fig on drums, which later performed session work on the Kiss albums "Dynasty" and "Unmasked", as well as become a member of Ace Frehley’s band Frehley’s Comet. Fig along with Will Lee, who played bass on three tracks on the album, became permanent members of Paul Shaffer’s band on "Late Night" with David Letterman and "Late Show" with David Letterman.
Of the four Kiss solo albums released simultaneously in 1978, the best of the bunch is guitarist Ace Frehley's. Similar in approach to Paul Stanley's album, Frehley did not stray far from the expected heavy Kiss sound (like Gene Simmons and Peter Criss did with their releases), but Ace was equipped with better compositions than Stanley.
Frehley proved once and for all that he was not simply a backup musician to Kiss head honchos Simmons and Stanley. All of the tracks are strong, such as the venomous opener, "Rip It Out", as well as a few tracks that confirm how Frehley was indulging in alcohol and drugs a bit too much by the late '70s ("Snow Blind", "Ozone", and "Wiped Out"). You'll also find many underrated compositions ("Speedin' Back to My Baby", "What's on Your Mind?", "I'm in Need of Love"), a gorgeous instrumental ("Fractured Mirror"), and the Top 20 hit single "New York Groove". Unfortunately, when Ace left Kiss in 1982 (eventually forming Frehley's Comet), he never came close to topping this solid and inspired 1978 solo outing.

Similar in approach to Paul Stanley's album, Frehley did not stray far from the expected heavy Kiss sound (like Gene Simmons and Peter Criss did with their releases), but Ace was equipped with better compositions than Stanley.
Frehley proved once and for all that he was not simply a backup musician to Kiss head honchos Simmons and Stanley. All of the tracks are strong, such as the venomous opener, "Rip It Out", as well as a few tracks that confirm how Frehley was indulging in alcohol and drugs a bit too much by the late '70s ("Snow Blind", "Ozone", and "Wiped Out"). You'll also find many underrated compositions ("Speedin' Back to My Baby", "What's on Your Mind?", "I'm in Need of Love"), a gorgeous instrumental ("Fractured Mirror"), and the Top 20 hit single "New York Groove". Unfortunately, when Ace left Kiss in 1982 (eventually forming Frehley's Comet), he never came close to topping this solid and inspired 1978 solo outing.

40 Years Anniversary re-release of the twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Hard Rock band.
Although a commercial success of "Animalize" was not nearly as strong as its two predecessors ("Creatures Of The Night" and "Lick It Up"), the album was a big hit (eventually going double Platinum). Instead of leading the Heavy Metal pack with raw Hard Rock (i.e., their classic albums from the '70s), in the mid- to late '80s, Kiss seemed to be copying other successful Pop-Metal bands (Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, etc.), both musically and visually.
At the time of the record's release, Gene Simmons was pursuing a career in acting. Paul Stanley was thus primarily in charge of the album's production and direction. The album marked the only appearance by lead guitarist Mark St. John, who replaced Vinnie Vincent in April 1984.
Mark St. John replaced the departed Vinnie Vincent on guitar (guitarist number three in a span of three years) and proved to be a highly technical player, the complete opposite of original member Ace Frehley's straight-ahead style. But troubles began early.  Mark St. John couldn’t play.  He was diagnosed with an arthritic condition called Reiter’s Syndrome.  His hands swelled up and he simply could not do the gig.  Mark passed away in 2007, but suggested that the arthritis may have been triggered by stress. Bruce Kulick stepped in to take his place, and did so with professionalism and respect.
The overall product of this album is unique in several ways. There is a bunch of historical events blended into this release, with guest players and the noticeable absence of  Simmons‘ contribution (which is majorly weak when he does), along with the tracks where the listener can distinguish St. John‘s playing on the songs which he contributed. The album sold well overall, and taking nothing away from the talents of St. John, but with the exception of Eric Carr’s drumming (powerful, solid, and heavy when need to be, while backing off as well at times), this could’ve been a Paul Stanley solo release with very few memorable songs. Having a part of the band’s career, which was a bridge from taking off the makeup to the more steady lineup of the non-makeup years, is one of the few reasons to have this in your Kiss collection. This is more an historical item than one filled with solid quality songs, and this is coming from a long time Kiss fan.

Remastered re-release of the tenth full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam Metal/Hard Rock band.
“Creatures Of The Night” represented a conscious effort by KISS to return to the Hard Rock style that had helped them achieve commercial success with "Destroyer" and "Love Gun". Their Pop-oriented albums "Dynasty" and "Unmasked" had started a decline in popularity that reached Rock bottom with 1981's "Music from The Elder". By 1982, KISS knew it needed to deliver on their earlier 1980–81 promise of a heavy record.
“Creatures Of The Night” was the band's last for Casablanca Records, the only label for which KISS had recorded up to that point. The album was dedicated to the memory of Casablanca founder and early KISS supporter Neil Bogart, who had died of cancer during the recording sessions. It is also the band's last album recorded with Ace Frehley credited as an official member and their first album with Vinnie Vincent as the initially-uncredited lead guitarist (Vincent would later be credited but not featured on the cover of the 1985 reissue of the album). It was also KISS' last album to feature the band with their trademark makeup until "Psycho Circus" was released.
The first key ingredient was songwriter/guitarist Vinnie Vincent, who was soon to replace Ace Frehley as the band's new lead guitarist. Though Frehley did not play on the album, his face was still featured on the album cover for contractual and commercial reasons. Frehley had been pushing the band to do a heavy Rock record since "Dynasty", and by the time of "Creatures Of The Night" he was fully disillusioned with the band, and that combined with alcoholism and a prescription medicine dependency (begun after a car wreck) led to his leaving the band during the recording sessions. On the tour, Vincent was introduced with his Egyptian Ankh make-up, designed in a hurry by Paul Stanley. In 1985, KISS re-released the album in their non-make-up state with a cover featuring Gene Simmons, Stanley, Eric Carr and then-current guitarist Bruce Kulick (even though Kulick did not play on the album). Vinnie Vincent had long since departed the band (being twice fired) by 1985.
KISS is one of the best-selling bands of all the time, having sold more than 75 000 000 records worldwide, including 25 000 000 RIAA-certified albums.
KISS also holds the title as America's #1 Gold record award-winning band of all time, having earned 30 Gold albums. Band has 14 Platinum albums, with three albums being multi-Platinum.
On April 10, 2014, the four original members of KISS were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
KISS was ranked by MTV as the ninth "Greatest Metal Band of All Time", and placed tenth on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list, as well as being ranked as the third "Best Metal and Hard Rock Live Band of All Time" by Loudwire.
"Creatures Of The Night" would not attain Gold status until 1994. The album would receive critical recognition with both Kerrang! and Guitar World magazines placing the album at #5 on their lists of best hard rock albums in 1982. Carr noted in an interview that "Creatures Of The Night" is his favorite KISS record that he played on. Simmons and Stanley, who have generally been dismissive of the band's post-1977 albums, considered "Creatures Of The Night" to be one of their stronger efforts.
"Creatures Of The Night" was certified Gold by the RIAA on May 9, 1994. It also was certified Gold in Brazil in 1983, for sales of 100 000 copies.
"Creatures Of The Night" was re-released in 1997 in a remastered version.

Remixed re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
In anticipation of the 35th anniversary of the release of "Destroyer", producer Bob Ezrin approached Simmons and Stanley about doing a remix and re-release of the original album. With their approval, Ezrin acquired the original 16-track analog master tapes and had them digitally transferred for remixing. In addition to re-equalizing elements of each song, Ezrin also added in some parts of tracks that had been omitted from the original mix.
These include some additional vocals on "Detroit Rock City" and "Beth", and the substitution of a guitar solo by Frehley on "Sweet Pain" for the one from the original that had been performed by Wagner (a version of "Sweet Pain" with Frehley's solo was included as track 6, while the original version with Wagner's solo is appended as a "bonus" track at the end of the new CD). Ezrin also used digital manipulation to fix an incorrect lyric (changing "down 95" to "doin' 95") on "Detroit Rock City". The resulting album, titled "Destroyer: Resurrected", was released on August 21, 2012. It featured Ken Kelly's original cover artwork prior to alteration by Casablanca for the 1976 release.
"Destroyer: Resurrected" returned to the Billboard charts, debuting at #11 the week after its re-release.
Each track sounds crisper, clearer and louder, which are always welcome qualities when you’re listening to a classic album of the likes of "Destroyer"!

Remastered re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
After attaining modest commercial success with their first three studio albums, KISS achieved a commercial breakthrough with the 1975 concert album "Alive!". It was the first album by the band to be certified Gold. The success of "Alive!", which spent 110 weeks on the charts, benefited not only the struggling band but also their cash-strapped label Casablanca Records. KISS signed a new contract with Casablanca in late 1975, partly because the label had been very supportive from the start of the band's career. The contract was for two albums, an indication that Casablanca was unsure if the group could duplicate the accomplishments of "Alive!".
“Destroyer” is the first KISS album to prominently feature outside musicians, such as members of the New York Philharmonic. One musician not credited was Dick Wagner, from Alice Cooper's band, replacing Ace Frehley on the track "Sweet Pain". Wagner also played the acoustic guitar found on the song "Beth".
“Destroyer” was the third successive KISS album to reach the top 40 in the US, as well as the first to chart in Germany and New Zealand. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1976, and Platinum on November 11 of the same year. It was the first KISS album to achieve Platinum status. The album marked a departure from the raw sound of the band's first three albums. The success of "Alive!" and "Destroyer" enabled the band to embark on their first tour of Europe.

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
“Dressed To Kill” was produced by Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart, as the label's financial situation at the time did not permit the hiring of a professional producer. Possibly due to the short length of the album, original vinyl versions had long pauses between each track to create the illusion that the sides were longer than they were. Each side ran just 15 minutes, and some of the song times were listed incorrectly on the vinyl versions. For example, "Two Timer" was listed at 2:59 and "Ladies in Waiting" was listed at 2:47.

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Disco/Hard Rock band.
It was the first time that the four original members of KISS did not all appear together for the entire album. In later interviews, the band admitted they started listening to outsiders about what direction the music should go in around the time of "Dynasty". Stanley's "I Was Made for Lovin' You" was an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Disco music. It was one of the band's most successful singles, peaking at #11 on the American singles chart. "I Was Made for Lovin' You" was KISS' first songwriting collaboration with Desmond Child, who showed up later on "Animalize", "Asylum", "Crazy Nights", "Smashes, Thrashes & Hits" and "Hot In The Shade". Frehley said in various interviews that KISS was becoming a youth-oriented band with children attending their concerts with parents.
"Dynasty" restored the band to commercial prominence, reaching #9 on the US Billboard album chart. It was certified Platinum in USA, Netherlads and double-Platinum in Canada. It was the last high-charting album by KISS for several years.
