Ladies and gentlemen...the hottest band in the land...KISS will release their 20th studio album, Monster, in October.

There are 12 tracks, all collaborations between cofounders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, with guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer.

KISS's "Hell or Hallelujah" is now available as a digital single and CD.

The God of Thunder himself says that there are no symphony orchestras, boy choirs, keyboards, outside producers or songwriters on Monster and that KISS is revitalized and going where no bands have gone before.

Gene Simmons...the voice of humble modesty....ha!
