KISS on a 'Monstrous' scale!

Here's a clip of Paul Stanley discussing KISS' new album MONSTER with FOX News.

Australia's Yahoo! video recently aired a segment on the hottest band in the world and their amazing fans. Here's the description of their report:

"For four decades KISS have Rock n Rolled All Night, and adoring fans have lapped it up. But the blokes behind the makeup are more than rock gods – they are marketing masters."

Here's Gene on the cover of the latest issue of SWEDEN ROCK magazine.

KISS launch a MONSTER new dimension with 3D Augmented Reality

London, Thursday 11 October – KISS, Universal Music and Aurasma proudly launch an epic bonus to the band’s brand-new album Monster using 3D Augmented Reality technology.

Celebrating the release of KISS’ landmark 20th studio album, fans are invited to download the free uView app now to bring the Monster artwork to life with a one-of-a-kind performance in awe-inspiring 3D animation.

Four decades ago Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley joined up with drummer Peter Criss and guitarist Ace Frehley to form KISS.

With Monster, and the trailblazing use of advanced augmented reality mobile technology, KISS continues their career-long trend of being at the forefront of showmanship and innovation.

Monster, the 12-song, full-throttle rock ’n’ roll album features collaborations from all four members in an effort that shows KISS at the top of its game. The album finds a band with its legacy firmly in sight, a chip on their shoulder and a desire to prove there’s more to the KISS spectacle than meets the eye.

The uView app and augmented content have been developed in partnership with Aurasma, the leaders in image recognition and augmented reality technology.

Matt Mills, Head of Sales at Aurasma, said: “We are thrilled to be working with our partner Universal Music and absolute legends of rock, KISS. Through the Aurasma-enabled uView app, the new Monster album has been augmented with a 3D animation of the band, complete with Gene Simmons’ 3D tongue. KISS fans will love unlocking this new dimension to the band – still pushing boundaries after twenty studio albums and an incredible four decades in the music business.”
