KISS to peddle Sonic Boom
Exclusively with Walmart
KISS will offer their first new studio album in 11 years, Sonic
Boom, exclusively at Walmart, Walmart.com
and Sam’s Club retail locations beginning October 6. Sonic
Boom, produced by Paul Stanley,
is the centerpiece of a three-disc set that also features a completely
re-recorded greatest hits CD as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina
during the band’s recent KISS ALIVE 35 tour. The CD set will
retail for $12, with pre-orders starting in September on Walmart.com.
"Through
all of the albums that are considered our classics, we tried to always
find ways to give our fans extras that went beyond just the music,"
says Stanley. "Besides our making the best KISS album in decades,
Walmart has made it possible for us to include a bonus CD with 15 of
our most famous songs and an additional live DVD, shot during our
recent concert in Buenos Aires. So in every sense, Sonic Boom
is the ultimate return to classic KISS form. You wanted the best, you
got the best!"Gene Simmons added, "Sonic
Boom may be the best new record we've done since Destroyer!
It is Rock And Roll Over meets Love Gun. The world’s
biggest retailer had better get ready for the hottest band in the world
and hire more cashiers before October 6."
In celebration of the album’s release, KISS will do a special KISS
ALIVE 35
show at Detroit Rock City’s legendary concert venue, Cobo Arena, on
September 25. This venue, which is slated for closure, has hosted KISS
concerts on numerous occasions, not the least of which was the series
of shows that were recorded to become the KISS ALIVE! album.

1. "Modern Day
Delilah"
2. "Russian
Roulette"
