With Sonic Boom, KISS has stopped chasing the next hot trend and their lust for a number one single. Instead, the band has focused their efforts on making the best possible ‘KISS music’ and by and large have succeeded. Combining the brash swagger of their ‘70s catalogue with the pop sensibilities of their ‘80s adventures and the raw power of their ‘90s era, Sonic Boom delivers an album that all KISS fans can call their own. ‘Say Yeah’ is your classic arena rock sing-along with Paul Stanley delivering the upbeat vocals with enthusiasm. ‘Yes, I Know (Nobody’s Perfect)’ finds Gene Simmons in his Rock ‘N Roll Over glory days while ‘All For The Glory’ (a track that could fit comfortably on Dressed To Kill) is the album’s big revelation. The song features Eric Singer on his very first lead vocal and shows that his talent goes beyond pounding skins. ‘Never Enough’ is another upbeat track with Paul Stanley leading us into ‘80s KISS pop territory while ‘Russian Roulette’ has that Simmons’ snarl that brings us right back into Creatures Of The Night glory. The band tackles ‘90s KISS on ‘Danger Us’ with another great Stanley vocal. ‘When Lightning Strikes’ is a straight ahead rocker and is the track that most fans will be curious about since it features Tommy Thayer behind the mic. The guitarist doesn’t disappoint and it underscores the fact that Kiss has once again become a unique collection of four distinct personalities. If the band can continue down this path, fans will clamor for more new music and will demand that the songs be played live. Overall, KISS has done the unimaginable. They’ve delivered an album that can proudly carry the KISS moniker and should satisfy fans from all the band’s various eras and incarnations.

By SUN MEDIA
What didn't go into KISS's new album Sonic Boom seems almost as important to Gene Simmons as what did. "There are no ballads," the demon bassist growls down the phone from L.A. when asked about the band's first studio disc since 1998's Psycho Circus. "There are no keyboards. There are no synths. There are no girl background singers."
Of course, there's also no Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. But a lack of original members didn't stop Gene and longtime partner Paul Stanley from taking an old-school, back-to-basics approach to their 19th album. The disc is due for release Oct. 6. While we can't agree with Gene that it's the best KISS album in 30 years, it's definitely their strongest work in two decades. Here's a song-by-song preview:
Modern Day Delilah 3:37
A funky guitar lick straight from the 1970s hooks up with an 1980s arrangement and a big chorus for a killer opener voiced by Paul. "Yeah, yeah!" are his first words. No argument here.
Russian Roulette 4:32
Gene steps up to the mic on a gear-shifting stomper anchored by his grinding bass, dripping with his usual lascivious lyrics, and graced with a smoking Tommy Thayer solo. Two aces in a row.
Never Enough 3:27
Another outsized 1980s hair-metal arena-rocker from Paul -- but from the slinky guitars and bare-bones beat to Stanley's high-register vocals, it works. Three for three.
Yes I Know (Nobody's Perfect) 3:03
Gene's turn again -- and he dishes up a classic power-chord glam-slam that wouldn't have been out of place on Dressed to Kill. The best song so far. And that's saying something.
Stand 4:50
Stanley and Simmons share the mic on a bombastically overblown stadium-rock anthem to solidarity and perseverance. It's even cornier than it sounds. The only stumble so far.
Hot and Cold 3:37
Simmons gets the disc back on track with a punchy 1970s-style cowbell rocker in the mold of Dr. Love. "Baby, feel my tower of power," leers Gene. Another wicked solo from Thayer.
All For the Glory 3:49
Drummer Eric Singer -- who wears Criss' gear and handles his tunes onstage -- shows off his raspy vocal prowess on this solidly driving number.
Danger Us 4:23
Another classic riff -- there's a bit of God of Thunder in there, but faster and more fiery -- along with another wailing vocal from Paul. The punny chorus is the only drawback.
I'm an Animal 3:47
Armed with a lumbering beat and a swaggering Zep-like guitar lick, Gene bellows out a dinosaur-stomper reminiscent of War Machine and I Love it Loud.
When Lightning Strikes 3:45
As his reward for all his blistering Frehley-style fretwork, Thayer gets the vocal spotlight on this chunk of power-chord cowbell-plonk rock.
Say Yeah 4:27
The guitars go from jangly to chugging and Paul plays with some echoing vocals on this Tears Are Falling-like closing anthem. You wanted the best? This time, you actually got it.

New KISS album - 'Sonic Boom' CD review
August 29, 8:01 PMChicago Metal Music ExaminerMelanie Falina
It's been more than a decade since KISS' last studio album.  Eleven years is a decent chunk of time on most scales - but for KISS fans this has seemed an eternity. 
Recent solo albums by both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley helped to ease the pain somewhat, but then also had some KISS fans wondering, 'Well, why not a new KISS album?' 
When KISS announced they were to begin working on a new album excitement spread like wildfire through the KISS Army, but there were those who skeptically held the stance that they'd believe it when they saw it - or, in this case, heard it.
Well the wait, the wondering, and the disbelieving is about to come to an end on October 6.  Produced by KISS' own Paul Stanley, Sonic Boom is on its way. 
The most recent musical products we've had from these guys were Paul Stanley's solo release Live To Win and Gene Simmons' solo album A**h*le.  Stanley's was emotion, Simmons' was fun - and now with Sonic Boom those influences bond and yet include so much more. 
Sonic Boom is a sexy album packed with good quality songs that insight repeat listening.  It's a great blend of old KISS, modern KISS, and even - - - dare it be said?  - Some brand spanking new KISS sounds as well.
KISS, in their 35 years, has gone on an amazing journey and has a rich, full history.  And some KISS fans are devoted, almost cult-like followers, but then there are some who will vehemently dislike any new release simply because it's not a repeat of Destroyer or KISS (the 1974 self-titled debut release).  No one can make everyone happy, but Sonic Boom delivers the goods that most KISS fans will receive quite warmly.

"Modern Day Delilah" - the only song thus far available to the public - it can be heard on KISS' Official Website.  Paul Stanley takes the vocal reigns on this one.  "Modern Day Delilah is bold and brassy, a great rock tune with a heady groove and exciting guitar solo.  This song is simply infectious, and was the perfect choice as the album's first release.
"Russian Roulette" - features Gene Simmons on vocals and has got a bass line that is sexy and gritty.  Simmons' vocals are clear and naughty and the chorus is catchy.  With the driving rhythms in "Russian Roulette" it's a great song to strip to if you're so inclined.
"Never Enough" - hands the lead vocals duties back over to Stanley.  This is the quintessential rock anthem song.  Total KISS, total Paul Stanley, total feel-good, and nothing but good feelings with an aggressive guitar solo.
"Yes I know (Nobody's Perfect)" - a classic 70's KISS sound and classic Gene Simmons feel to it.  Nice groove.
"Stand" - a little unexpected.  "Stand" is catchy but showcases a different style from the other songs on the album.
"Hot And Cold" - is a whimsical and upbeat tune that is perfect for Gene Simmons.
"All For The Glory" - features vocals by drummer Eric Singer and is one of the highlights of this album.  Singer's slightly raspy and rocking vocals accentuate this song really well.
"Danger Us" - a fun play on words for this Paul Stanley lead song.  "Danger Us" has got a solid rhythm throughout and nice guitar work.
"I'm An Animal" - a larger than life, big rock and roll sound.  Perfect for 'the Demon.'  If this song was a person no one would mess with it.
"When Lightning Strikes" - is guitarist Tommy Thayer's vocal contribution and another highlight of the disc.  "When Lightning Strikes" has got a sultry groove and Thayer is authoritative in his vocal style.
"Say Yeah" - with a big rock sound and great harmonies.  This is one of those songs that will pleasantly haunt you after just the first listen.
Sonic Boom will be available exclusively at Walmart (stores and online) and Sam's Club in the U.S. and Canada.  The album package is a 3-disc set that will include - in addition to Sonic Boom's 11 new songs - Kiss Klassics - a 15-track, re-recorded greatest hits CD, a live concert DVD that was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina earlier this year, and a 20-page booklet. 
The countdown continues but we're almost ready for take-off. 

MODERN DAY DELILAH (Paul Stanley)
I still remember when I saw your face across the room
Told me to take you but the price of love would seal my doom
Pre-Chorus
I know the way you made the others break
But loving me would be your first mistake
Chorus
Same old ways, same old ways
Modern Day Delilah
It's time you learn to give
Queen to slave
Modern Day Delilah

Listen

You lived your glory in a liar’s haze you called the truth
The same old story of a social plan from wasted youth
Pre-Chorus
You thought that you could bring me to my knees
But who’s the one who’s crying baby please
Chorus
Same old ways, same old ways
Modern Day De lilah
It's time you learn to give
Queen to slave
Modern Day Delilah
Bridge
Just like the trigger of a loaded gun
You were the reason for the damage done
Too many lovers like a hunter’s prey
Not today

Solo

Pre-Chorus
I know the way you made the others break
But loving me would be your last mistake
It's time you learn to give
Chorus
Same old ways
Modern Day Delilah
Shame, shame, shame on you girl
Queen to slave, come on now
Modern Day Delilah
Yeah, yeah, it's time you learn to give
Same old ways, same old ways
Now you'll pay
Delilah
Queen to slave, love’s decayed
Delilah

Modern Day Delilah
Given the eleven years since their last barely passable studio album – 1998's Psycho Circus it seemed unlikely that Kiss would ever release another album of new material. Seemingly invigorated by a huge recent upsurge in interest in their hefty back catalogue by the younger generation of rock listeners into the studio they went, and six weeks later emerged armed with Sonic Boom. However, we didn't expect them to knock one out of the park this early with this heaving, sweating lump of fabulous groove straight from 1975. "Yeah yeah" are the first words to exit Stanley's mouth and immediately our ears are pricked to what is not stylistically a typical Kiss track, a circular, bass heavy riff driving everything along. The net result is your immediate desire to renew that direct debit to the' Kiss army' while arranging to graft eight or more inches of surplus off your backside on to your tongue—it really is that good.
Russian Roulette
The first of Gene Simmons's vocal contributions and this isn't at all bad. In fact the years have been pretty kind to the 'god of thunder', and his voice has actually developed more than a semblance of melody. It's raw, punchy and lyrically the usual innuendo ridden stuff "this is Russian roulette—one pull of the trigger is all you're gonna get" etc, which we've heard often before but here's it's done with a freshness of attitude that's been absent for a long, long time.
Never Enough
Classic Kiss and this could easily fit into their live set without being noticed as a brand new track. Paul Stanley seems to have done some kind of 'Benjamin Button' reverse ageing thing with his vocals because he sounds every bit as energetic as he did back in their 70's heyday. Tommy Thayer too has slotted in nicely as an Ace Frehley replacement but without all the 'space' and its associated discordant rambling solos. This is obvious single material, if such things exist anymore, and is Kiss at their best. They've remarkably managed to summon the best attributes of their past without sounding dated, while at the same time making it all sound relevant to now—brilliant.
Yes I know (Nobody's Perfect)
Simmons's rumbling bass drives this fairly standard Kiss number along in a way that it hasn't for years (apparently he was really motivated in the studio) Not just that, he sings too, and tunefully does it. Chunky and not overly overdriven guitar combined with that satisfying emphasis on bass give this a solid feel with some more good-time, tail chasing lyrics, as you'd expect...
Stand
This one will completely divide opinions. Initially a straight-ahead rocker in the vein of the classic 'Strutter' which at no time threatens to dissolve into a 'Crazy Nights' or 'God gave Rock 'n' Roll To You' type anthem; until it does exactly that with the chorus, which no other band on the planet would get away with. Not content with that, it even dives into a multi-vocal layered mid section before returning to the huge stadium rock chorus which you could imagine appearing in some teen movie. Though it works, it's probably the closest relative to some of their late 80s and early 90s howlers.
Hot And Cold
Cowbell-accented drums and more classroom innuendo punctuate this chunk of typical Kiss fodder (think 'Calling Dr Love'). It all sounds very live and not in any way over-produced (seemingly no Pro-Tools were used anywhere on the record). "Baby feel my tower of power" should give you some idea of what Gene's referring to and the song's easily good enough to forgive him such childishly dated folly.
All For The Glory
Drummer Eric Singer, who has assuredly hammered out rock-solid backing thus far, lends a hand on vocal duties with fabulous result. This is absolutely solid gold stuff reminiscent of Destroyer era Kiss, but with the nastier edge of later incarnations like Creatures of the Night. Tommy's solo is absolutely killer too - what talent he's brought to the band.
Danger Us
Starting with a quietly picked guitar intro before fading satisfyingly (why do bands not fade-in much these days?) Aerosmith like riff and Stanley's most effective vocal outing on the record. You get the impression that they're all really enjoying this stuff and again Simmons's sonorous bass rumble is very much in evidence, aidded by Stanley's own intentionally Spartan studio production.
I'm An Animal
A huge, lumbering riff of Zeppelin-esque ('Dazed and Confused' springs to mind) proportions and another Simmons vocal characterise this beast of a track bristling with stalker menace. Similar in nature to let's say 'War Machine' off Creatures of the Night it stomps emphatically all over some of the tedious filler of recent albums. "I'm an animal, and I'm free" Gene divulges, and who the hell are we to argue. This is fast becoming Simmons's showpiece and surely his richest vein of contribution in their history.
When Lightning Strikes
'Musical singers' continues with guitarist Tommy Thayer wrestling control of the mic this time around. He in no way disappoints, dialling in a pretty effective vocal effort that many more established singers would die for. More cowbells and a riff that's been done before give way to a straight-forward bridge/chorus. The closest you'd get to 'stock' material but in the context of the quality of the album generally that's probably being overly critical.
Say Yeah
When we expect filler we get utter killer, and if you're not singing this in the car or the bath you've no business whatsoever reading this review. Again, Stanley's vocals are a revelation – wielding an insanely addictive hook reminiscent of 'Tears are Falling' from the Asylum era but much, much better. Thayer's solo is brilliant too and resembles a lot of the stuff Bruce Kulick (surely their most underrated axe-man) came up with; fitting the song brilliantly and carrying no excess fret flab whatsoever. The Kiss of 2009 have left the building, and what a way to sign off...

LOS ANGELES, CA & BENTONVILLE, AR (August 17, 2009) KISS and Walmart announced today that SONIC BOOM—the bands highly anticipated CD, and its first new material in 11 years—will be sold in the U.S. and Canada exclusively at Walmart, Walmart.com and Sams Club retail locations beginning October 6. SONIC BOOM, produced by the bands Paul Stanley in Los Angeles, is the centerpiece of a three-disc set that also features a completely re-recorded greatest hits CD as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina during the bands recent, record-breaking KISS ALIVE 35 South American tour. The CD set will retail for $12, with pre-orders starting in September on Walmart.com.
KISS' Gene Simmons says, "SONIC BOOM" may be the best new record we've done since Destroyer! It is Rock And Roll Over meets Love Gun. The worlds biggest retailer had better get ready for the hottest band in the world and hire more cashiers before October 6th!
Stanley continues, "Through all of the albums that are considered our classics, we tried to always find ways to give our fans extras that went beyond just the music. Besides our making the best KISS album in decades, Walmart has made it possible for us to include a bonus CD with 15 of our most famous songs and an additional live DVD, shot during our recent concert in Buenos Aires. So in every sense, SONIC BOOM is the ultimate return to classic KISS form. You wanted the best, you got the best!"
Walmart, one of Americas largest music retailers, is finalizing its exciting plans now for its in-store and online destinations for KISS fans surrounding the launch of the new album and tour, and will host various KISS products in addition to their music in its stores this fall. More details on Walmart KISS activity, announcements regarding album pre-sales, sweepstakes and KISS appearances will be shared shortly.

Classic Rock Magazine review:
Modern Day Delilah
Based around a lumbering, War Machine-style rhythm, Paul Stanley’s vocals sound top-notch and timeless, almost like they’ve been sampled from Kiss Alive! Meanwhile, Tommy Thayer’s guitar work is straight out of the Ace Frehley riff book. At a concise 3:35 in length, this is a perfect slam-bang beginning to the new album.
Russian Roulette
Gene Simmons takes the vocals on this one; it’s an archetypal lumbering, grumbling, pummelling offering, made all the better by the addition of a signature ‘ah-ah-ah-ah’ chant-line. The lyrics are simplistic but effective: ‘This is Russian Roulette… one pull of the trigger is all you’re gonna get… you feel the hunger and it’s much too much… go on take a bite.’ To a fan of classic Kiss, that’s sheer poetry.
Never Enough
You’re know you’re on to a winner immediately as this one begins with a time-honoured Stanley shout of… wait for it… ‘Woah yeah!’ This is a much jauntier offering than the preceding two tracks, recalling the more commercial, 1980s side of Kiss. The song has a real reach-for-the-sky spirit, full of uplifting phrases such as ‘rules just for breaking’, ‘life for the taking’ and (you guessed it) ‘love ’til I’m shaking’.
Yes I Know (Nobody’s Perfect)
Another three minutes of perfection. A light-hearted, hyper-commercial tune with Simmons at the mic-stand again, offering a gruff ‘YEAH’ (capital letters, natch) followed by the inevitable invitation: ‘C’mon baby, take off your clothes.’ There’s no word on whether Simmons kept his T-shirt on, however.
Stand
Our favourite so far; a proper anthem recalling the crowd-rousing grandeur of God Gave Rock’N’Roll To You. Stanley delivers the words ‘Stand by my side, I’ll be next to you/Stand by my side, we’ll make it through/Stand by my side, we’ll get by, you and I’ with consummate Starchild passion. This one just grows and grows… and then offers a neat false ending with some soft, CSN&Y-style harmonies (yes, really) before picking up the pace once more.
I’m An Animal
Full of giant, stalking menace, this is based around a dense, Zeppelinesque riff. Thayer plays a marvellous slick-but-stumbling Frehley solo, and you can rest assured the lyrics – ‘I’m an animal and I’m free… I’m an animal in the street’ – don’t refer to an old lady with her poodle off the leash. Late in the song, the band issue the urge: ‘Stand up, raise your fists.’ Little do they know, we’ve been doing that since track one…

According to Melodic Rock KISS new album due Oct 6 thru WalMart with new material will be part of a package including re-records disc (Jigoku Retsuden", orginally released in Japan) and a DVD (possibly the ALIVE35 Down-under Tour). Same deal as Journey and Foreigner. Almost one month ago (July the 6th) Deucenews reported that SONIC BOOM would have been considered as a possible album title (SONIC BOOM is a registered trademark own by KISS). And rumors on the net now seem confirming such news. Recently Guitar Player Magazine editor published a review of 5 KISS new songs and he admitted that the title they had on the studio TV monitors while they were playing the audio files was SONIC BOOM. Such title has not yet been confirmed by the band.

Secondo Melodic Rock il nuovo KISS album in uscita il 6 Ottobre prossimo tramite WalMart farà parte di un pacchetto inclusivo di un secondo CD di materiale ri-registrato (Jigoku Retsuden", orginalmente pubblicato in Giappone) e un DVD (possibilmente l'ALIVE35 Down-under Tour) così come hanno fatto precedentemente sia i Journey che i Foreigner.

Quasi un mese fa (6 di Luglio) Deucenews aveva anticpato che SONIC BOOM poteva essere preso in considerazione come possibile titolo per il nuovo album (SONIC BOOM risulta essere un marchio registrato e depositato dai KISS). Recentemente il redattore di Guitar Player Magazine, che  ha potuto ascoltare 5 nuovi pezzi e di cui ha pubblicato una recensione, ha ammesso che sui monitors durante l'ascolto della musica è apparso il titolo SONIC BOOM. Il titolo comunque non è stato ancora confermato dalla band.

06-07-09 (from DeuceNews)

As the D-Day is getting closer as much rumors about new KISS album title are popping up on the net. We told you lately of the stories around 360°.

With the recent comment by Eric on KISSonline "The band has come full circle" that "possible" title gained points on another rumored title like SONIC BOOM. This last one came out from recent comments on the new "old sound" the KISS music will have.

Nevertheless, Michael Doret, the artist father of the Rock and roll over cover and also of the new baby is closed in a secreted silent and he doesn't say a word about...

KISS in the past rejected some cool possible titles like:

The harder They Come, original title for Hotter Than Hell
At Midnight, original title for Dressed To Kill

Severe Cuts, original title for Killers
War Of The Gods, original title for the follow up of the Elder
Dragonfly, original title for Animalize
Who Dares Wins, original title for Crazy Nights and also considered for Hot in the shade
Head, original title for Carnival of Souls......

Meantime yesterday night Gene stated that "just finished recording almost all of the new KISS studio album! It's the first studio album of new material in 10 years..."

...Today Tommy's quote from KOL "We did run a few of them [new songs] at our sound check in Milwaukee last week. Yep, you guessed right... They SCORCHED! Our tour crew guys were like, HOLY S**T, what was that?!!"

Più il D-Day si avvicina e più aumentano le voci sul titolo del nuvo KISS album. Abbiamo parlato di recente in merito a 360 °. Ora grazie al nuovo commento di Eric su KISSonline,  "The band has come full circle", il "possibile" titolo ha guadagnato punti su un altro in circolazione, SONIC BOOM. Questo ultimo è uscito dalle recenti osservazioni sul nuovo "vecchio suono" che la KISS musica avrà.

Di seguito alcuni titoli scartati in passato che potrebbero essere ripresi:

The harder They Come, Hotter Than Hell
At Midnight, Dressed To Kill

Severe Cuts, Killers
War Of The Gods, The Elder II
Dragonfly, Animalize
Who Dares Wins, Crazy Nights e Hot in the shade

Head, Carnival of Souls......

Nel frattempo Gene ieri sera "appena finito di registrare il nuovo album! E' il primo KISS album in studio di nuove canzoni in 10 anni..."

...Tommy oggi dalle pagine di KOL "Ne abbiamo provate alcune [nuove canzoni] durante il sound check in Milwaukee la scorsa settimana. Bene avete indovinato... hanno fatto il vuoto! I nostri ragazzi erano lì a bocca aperta, CHE C***O, cos'era?!!"
