KISS, which just concluded its 2011 "Lost Cities" tour last month, is already working on its 2012-2013 "Monster" world tour which will take the band to numerous countries throughout Europe, South America and Asia

"Monster" is their 20th studio album produced by Paul Stanley and co-produced by Greg Collins. It is confirmed that the album will contain ten songs, with bonus songs for other projects. In addition, Stanley revealed that the album cover will be similar to that of "Destroyer"  but painted by another artist. According to an interview with Tommy Thayer, it will be slightly heavier than "Sonic Boom" and the idea was to create a classic KISS record and going back to the roots of the early records and really try and capture that vibe.
