Some interesting news about two bands that most of us will know and grew up with:

KISS

KISS legendary bass player/vocalist Gene Simmons, recently spoke with Brazilian news site Comércio do Jahu about the bands new studio album and South American tour. He stated:

“Yes, we will launch an album with 12 or 15 unpublished songs. We already recorded vocals and guitars for four of them. We will finish up the album in July and launch it in September. I can say the sound will be like a sort of a new “Rock-n’-roll over”, mid-seventies sound, fast and heavy. There will be no rap, no country music. It is difficult to define music, but if you keep in mind that definition, you will understand very well what we are talking about. It’s the classic KISS sound.”

Overkill

Stating from New Jersey, the legendary trash metal band Overkill has also announced that they will be entering the studio in August and record a brand new studio album which should be released at the end of the year. The release marks the 25th anniversary of the bands first release, “Feel The Fire”. The band will be enlisting the service of Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Bloodbath, Edge Of Sanity).

Gus Chambers, former singer of the trash metal band Grip Inc., has passed away on October 13 at the of 52 years. Chambers, who resided in Coventry, England, reportedly took his own life. The circumstances of the suicide are still unsettled. Rest in peace Gus — we will miss you.
