Kiss drummer Peter Criss has announced the upcoming release of his new solo album this fall, marking his first record since 2007’s One for All. “I want to let the Kiss Army and all my rock fans know that my new ‘rock’ album will be coming out this fall,” Criss shared with Rolling Stone. “I’ve got some really great players on it: Michael McLaughlin, John 5 on lead and rhythm guitar, Billy Sheehan, Piggy D [Matt Montgomery] on bass, and Paul Shaffer on B3 and piano. I am on vocals, drums and percussion.” Criss co-produced the album with Barry Pointer, with the drummer adding about the project, “I had an absolute blast doing this album, and everyone was so much fun to work with — they were just amazing.” Criss was the original drummer of Kiss, and co-wrote and sang their 1976 worldwide hit “Beth.” He left the group in 1982 and released several solo records before reuniting with Kiss in 1996, before ultimately departing again in 2004.
