Gene Simmons is reportedly writing new songs for himself and may have hinted that a few tracks could very well suit Kiss and potentially gear up for a new album release.
According to a report by AXS, a new album from Kiss may potentially be started in 2016, as per Simmons.
According to the report, Simmons recently talked to NU.nl and revealed that recording and song writing could come out "when we have time," which was noted by the site to come next year, as they are scheduled to play a few shows in the next few weeks.
"It will happen when we have time. I have music in me that needs to come out. I recently wrote a song called 'Your Wish Is My Command.' It feels like a Kiss song and it just needs to be released on a [new] Kiss album."
"First we have to finish a whole slew of shows. That will take at least until the end of this year."
Furthermore, he also revealed that singer Paul Stanley could make things fully happen, if he produces the new Kiss album.
"I'm glad about that - I no longer have the energy to come to the studio every day. Paul doesn't have so many other things in his life that demand attention, so he can concentrate fully on the project."
However, Stanley recently said in an interview that was reported by Team Rock that he is contented with their past releases and that they could move on without any new releases.
"There has to be a purpose to us doing an album," the Kiss frontman said about the potential fate of a new album. "There was a time when we did albums because the contracts said so. But I only want to work now when it's justified. Sonic Boom was an album that was very much needed to be done and Monster just felt like, 'Well, we did Sonic Boom - let's see where we go from here.'"
"Having accomplished that, I feel we can move forward without new music. There are enough things going on in KISS that right now it doesn't feel utterly necessary to make a new album."
