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.

End of the Road tour will see Kiss performing in the lineup consisting of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. According to the band, they will play all the hits you want to hear; from their 1974’s debut album to the most recent releases.

“All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years,” – Kiss said in a statement. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. Kiss Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in. … Unapologetic and unstoppable.”

While End of the Road tour might be the last time you will get to see Kiss performing live, it might not mean that it will also mean the band’s retirement from music.

“One thing for sure is that this is the last tour. What goes beyond that is really hard to say,” – Kiss’ frontman Paul Stanley told Billboard. “The tour may go three years, but once we play your city, it is done. That is our big thank you.”
