Peter Criss Announces First Solo Album in 18 Years This Fall

Peter Criss, the original drummer and co-founder of KISS, has announced his first solo album in nearly 20 years, set for release in the fall. The upcoming record is described as a hard rock, high-energy album co-produced by Barry Pointer, known for his work with artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Marilyn Manson. Notable guest musicians on the album include guitarist John 5, bassist Billy Sheehan, keyboardist Paul Shaffer, Matthew Montgomery (Piggy D.), and Mike McLaughlin. KISS historian Julian Gill, who previewed the album, praised its powerful production, Criss's massive drum sound, and strong vocals, predicting it will be well-received by KISS fans. This project marks Criss's first solo effort since 2007's 'One For All,' following his retirement from live performances in 2017. While the exact title and release date are yet to be announced, anticipation is building among rock and KISS enthusiasts.
