KISS is one of the most iconic rock bands in history, renowned as much for their music as for their flamboyant stage persona. Formed in January 1973 in New York by Paul Stanley (vocals/guitar) and Gene Simmons (bass/vocals), the band quickly became a unique live phenomenon. Joined by Ace Frehley (lead guitar) and Peter Criss (drums), the four members adopted their legendary makeup and alter egos – The Starchild, The Demon, The Spaceman, and The Catman – which became their unmistakable visual identity.
Their debut album KISS (1974) launched their career, but it was Alive! (1975) – a fiery live record – that catapulted them to global fame. Classic albums such as Destroyer (1976), Love Gun (1977), and Creatures of the Night (1982) cemented their place in rock history with heavy riffs, catchy hooks, and polished production. Through lineup changes and decades of evolution, KISS has remained spectacular and larger than life.
With over 100 million albums sold worldwide and a monumental farewell tour, End of the Road, launched in 2019, KISS has left an indelible mark on pop culture. Their influence goes far beyond rock, inspiring fans and generations of artists alike.
