KISS: Deluxe Edition Of 'Destroyer' Due Next Year
November 10, 2011KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons revealed during an interview with the U.K. digital radio station Planet Rock that producer Bob Ezrin is remixing KISS' classic fourth album, "Destroyer", for re-release in 2012. The deluxe edition of the LP will feature outtakes and the original cover art.
Ken Kelly's original version of the album cover for "Destroyer" was rejected by the record company because they felt the scene was too violent-looking. Also, the original version had the members of KISS wearing the "Alive" costumes.
Released in March 1976, "Destroyer" was the second consecutive KISS album to reach the Top 20 in the U.S. The LP was certified gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1976. It was certified platinum on November 11, 1976, the first KISS album to achieve that distinction.
