In a recent chat with USA Today, the band’s co-founder and frontman Paul Stanley confirmed that Kiss doesn’t have plans to release a new album.

“I don’t really see a reason for it, to be quite honest,” said Stanley.

According to Stanley, new music released by classical bands is too often compared with their earlier works and gets “thrown away.”

“So it’s odd to me that people always want you to do a new album, but then they go, ‘That’s great. Now play your hits,’” he added. “So honestly, at this point, there isn’t a real reward in it.”

Kiss released 20 studio albums during their career, but only two of them came in the new millennium. The most recent, 2012’s Monster, received mixed reviews from the critics and peaked at No.3 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Kiss are currently in the midst of their The End of the Road tour, which should be the band’s final tour before disbanding. The band was forced to hit the pause button on live concerts in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all the remaining shows being postponed for late 2021 and early 2022.

According to the press release, Lee Roth will be a part of Kiss’ live shows between February and October of 2020. The group is scheduled to play around 45 dates during that period.

“David Lee Roth will bring his exciting stage show featuring a twin guitar big rock sound and a setlist of classic hits and future energy,” Kiss’ official statement reads.

Lee Roth’s commitment to End of the Road tour means any hope that the long-rumored Van Halen reunion will take place soon is now gone. The 65-year-old vocalist himself also dismissed the reunion talks earlier in 2019, even saying that the band “is finished.”

Kiss kicked off the End of the Road tour back in January and are scheduled to be on the road until the summer of 2021, when they’ll have one last concert in their hometown of New York City on July 17, 2021. The group is currently in Asia, where they are wrapping up their five-cities Japan mini-tour.
