My Halloween-themed KISS Album

Over on The KISS Room Facebook page last week, Matt Porter posed a fascinating question: Create a spooky, Halloween-themed KISS album. I offered a few songs, saw some others, and did the obvious: make my own tracklist.

With this theme, naturally the songs of Gene Simmons would dominate. But he's not the only singer in the band. As such, I crafted a 13-song CD. Each song more or less has a darker vibe, and the sequence is intended to have a through-line.

Title: All Hallow's KISS

1. God of Thunder
2. Creatures of the Night
3. Within
4. Parasite
5. Psycho Circus
6. Naked City
7. Strange Ways
8. Rain
9. Goin' Blind
10. Almost Human
11. The Devil is Me
12. A World Without Heroes
13. Dreamin'

I originally had Dreamin' as track 8, but that would have left a rather depressing end to the record: Almost Human | The Devil is Me | A World Without Heroes. So the listener gets to experience the KISS Halloween album and then come out on the other end just a tad bit happy because it's only a dream.
