Gene Simmons har uttalat sig om bandets nya album Monster som släpps i juli. Det är en uppföljare till Sonic Boom (2009) och är än en gång producerad av Paul Stanley, Simmons beskriver den som, ”either the best or one of the top three records we’ve ever done. It’s like Revenge meets Destroyer — just guitar and drums, nothing else. No keyboards, no little boys’ choir, no strings, no nothing. Band-written; literally we’d get in and strum guitars like the old days.”
Stanley säger, ”Monster is really the culmination of everything this band has been in the past and where we’re going. When we did Sonic Boom, it was a big task for us because we were saying, ’How do we define who we are today without losing who we’ve been?’ So, that was a tall order for us, but once we got that under our belts, we wanted to go back in and Monster is far, far beyond anything we’ve done in terms of Sonic Boom and yet it’s right up there with some of the best stuff we’ve done. It’s KISS.”
Några av låttitlarna på Monster är:
