Is a new KISS album finally in the works?

Bassist Gene Simmons is reportedly writing new songs that could help the American rock band work on a new album.

In an interview with Loud Wire the veteran musician shared that KISS will definitely move forward once they have enough materials for the new album.

“Paul may think there’s not going to be another record; I suspect there will be,” Simmons said. “We never force the issue. There is no one to answer to except our own gut. I recently wrote a song called ‘Your Wish is My Command’ and it feels like KISS. It came out pretty easy. When there’s enough material, we’ll look at each other and say, ‘You wanna?'”

Moreover, the 65-year-old artist also told Press Entertainment that this will be the perfect time for the band to work on a new album.

Apparently, this time the band is not forced to write or complete songs because of a binding contract, instead they could just do so in their own free will.

“There has to be a purpose to us doing an album,” the KISS singer said. “There was a time when we did albums because the contracts said so. But I only want to work now when it’s justified. Sonic Boom was an album that was very much needed to be done and Monster just felt like, ‘Well, we did Sonic Boom – let’s see where we go from here.'”

“Having accomplished that, I feel we can move forward without new music. There are enough things going on in KISS that right now it doesn’t feel utterly necessary to make a new album.”

While things are presumably looking good for KISS as they talk about working on a new album, a release date has yet to be set.
