Kiss Asylum on 180g LP

This year marks the 40th anniversary of rock and roll giants Kiss and, in true Kiss fashion, the band plan to make 2014 the biggest and loudest, non-stop rock and roll party of the century. Millions of people around the world originally discovered Kiss when they brought home an album and put it on their turntable for the first time. Those original Kiss albums are now remastered and will be available on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl. 

Kiss was the first signing to Neil Bogart’s Casablanca Records in 1973, offering them a contract on the spot after seeing them perform in New York City. Their self-titled debut would propel the band to the top of the rock and roll hierarchy where they have reigned for the past four decades, selling over 100 million albums worldwide. Kiss will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in April 2014, proof of the unparalleled devotion and loyalty of the Kiss Army to the “Hottest Band in the World.”

Produced by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, 1985's Asylum retained the raw power of previous 80's Kiss records, yet also contained a pop element that those records lacked. The music is tight, and lyrically, well, if sex sells, then Kiss cashed in and standout cuts like "King of the Mountain" and "I'm Alive" continue Stanley's knack for penning upbeat, positive songs about living life to the fullest. The 10-song set also marked the debut of fourth lead guitarist Bruce Kulick in place of Mark St. John.
