KISS
KISS
Rooted in the campy theatrics of <a href="spotify:artist:3EhbVgyfGd7HkpsagwL9GS">Alice Cooper</a> and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers <a href="spotify:artist:0WhGV9lzljq2QKJ8ipw6jx">the New York Dolls</a>, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elaborate lighting, blood spitting, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss' music shouldn't be dismissed -- it is a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, earworm melodies, and sweeping strings. It's a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late '80s. In 1983 the band went unmasked, resulting in the platinum-selling LP of the same name, but re-applied the makeup ten years later. Since then, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have remained a potent live draw and have sold over 75 million records worldwide, with highlights arriving via influential efforts like Alive!, Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, Love Gun, Dynasty, and Lick It Up. Kiss was the brainchild of <a href="spotify:artist:5gAbCaW9OmfIqqZGLpKb3f">Gene Simmons</a> (bass, vocals) and <a href="spotify:artist:5W0GCoUUwU3SF6qpJanlug">Paul Stanley</a> (rhythm guitar, vocals), former members of the New York-based hard rock band <a href="spotify:artist:4mnC6BVhObGZnXtQm4hjzH">Wicked Lester</a>; the duo brought in drummer <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Peter Criss</a> through his ad in Rolling Stone, while guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:62olK5zZHSgFUXGDykgBL8">Ace Frehley</a> responded to an advertisement in The Village Voice. Even at their first Manhattan concert in 1973, the group's approach was theatrical, and Flipside producer Bill Aucoin offered the band a management deal after the show. Two weeks later, they were signed to Neil Bogart's fledgling record label, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Casablanca%22">Casablanca</a>. Kiss released their self-titled debut in February of 1974; it peaked at number 87 on the U.S. charts. By April of 1975, the group had released three albums and had been touring America constantly, building up a sizable fan base. Culled from those numerous concerts, Alive! (released in the fall of 1975) made the band rock & roll superstars; it climbed into the Top Ten and its accompanying single, "Rock 'N' Roll All Nite," made it to number 12. Their follow-up, Destroyer, was released in March of 1976 and became the group's first platinum album; it also featured their first Top Ten single, <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Peter Criss</a>' power ballad "Beth." Kiss mania was in full swing; thousands of pieces of merchandise hit the marketplace (including pinball machines, makeup and masks, and board games), and the group had two comic books released by Marvel as well as a live-action TV movie, Kiss Meet the Phantom of the Park. A 1977 Gallup poll named Kiss the most popular band in America. They were never seen in public without their makeup, and their popularity was growing by leaps and bounds; the membership of the Kiss Army, the band's fan club, was in the six figures. Even such enormous popularity had its limits, though, and the band reached them in 1978, when all four members released solo albums on the same day in October. <a href="spotify:artist:5gAbCaW9OmfIqqZGLpKb3f">Simmons</a>' record was the most successful, reaching number 22 on the charts, yet all of them made it into the Top 50. Dynasty, released in 1979, continued their streak of platinum albums, yet it was their last record with the original lineup -- <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Criss</a> left in 1980. Kiss Unmasked, released in the summer of 1980, was recorded with session drummer <a href="spotify:artist:5xeqgtq9Fkg7XBHuPEm9pf">Anton Fig</a>; <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Criss</a>' true replacement, <a href="spotify:artist:7vwL5Cm5W4dhdH7lswEfSx">Eric Carr</a>, joined the band in time for their 1980 world tour. Kiss Unmasked was their first record since Destroyer to fail to go platinum, and 1981's Music from the Elder, their first album recorded with <a href="spotify:artist:7vwL5Cm5W4dhdH7lswEfSx">Carr</a>, didn't even go gold -- it couldn't climb past number 75 on the charts. <a href="spotify:artist:62olK5zZHSgFUXGDykgBL8">Ace Frehley</a> left the band after its release; he was replaced by <a href="spotify:artist:3uBH6ZCj6xlrjHG41YepTn">Vinnie Vincent</a> in 1982. <a href="spotify:artist:3uBH6ZCj6xlrjHG41YepTn">Vincent</a>'s first album with the group, 1982's Creatures of the Night, fared better than Music from the Elder, yet it couldn't make it past number 45 on the charts. Sensing it was time for a change, Kiss dispensed with their makeup for 1983's Lick It Up. The publicity worked, as the album became their first platinum record in four years. Animalize, released the following year, was just as successful, and the group essentially recaptured their niche. <a href="spotify:artist:3uBH6ZCj6xlrjHG41YepTn">Vincent</a> left after Animalize and was replaced by Mark St. John, although St. John was soon taken ill with Reiter's Syndrome and left the band. <a href="spotify:artist:30TJoJIn79ZTDn7J93ymi8">Bruce Kulick</a> became Kiss' new lead guitarist in 1984. For the rest of the decade, Kiss turned out a series of best-selling albums, culminating in the early 1990 hit ballad "Forever," which was their biggest single since "Beth." Kiss was scheduled to record a new album with their old producer, Bob Ezrin, in 1990 when <a href="spotify:artist:7vwL5Cm5W4dhdH7lswEfSx">Eric Carr</a> became severely ill with cancer; he died in November of 1991 at the age of 41. Kiss replaced him with <a href="spotify:artist:7zEEexBlaAamW68arysqIZ">Eric Singer</a> and recorded Revenge (1992), their first album since 1989; it was a Top Ten hit and went gold. Kiss followed it with the release of Alive III the following year; it performed respectably but wasn't up to the standards of their two previous live records. In 1996, the original lineup of Kiss -- featuring <a href="spotify:artist:5gAbCaW9OmfIqqZGLpKb3f">Simmons</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5W0GCoUUwU3SF6qpJanlug">Stanley</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:62olK5zZHSgFUXGDykgBL8">Frehley</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Criss</a> -- reunited to perform an international tour, complete with their notorious makeup and special effects. The tour was one of the most successful of 1996, and in 1998 the reunited group issued Psycho Circus. While the ensuing tour in support of Psycho Circus was a success, sales of Kiss' reunion album weren't as stellar as anticipated. Reminiscent of the band's unfocused late-'70s period, few tracks on Psycho Circus featured all four members playing together (most tracks were supplemented with session musicians), as the band seemed more interested in flooding the marketplace with merchandise yet again instead of making the music their top priority. With rumors running rampant that the Psycho Circus Tour would be their last, the quartet announced in the spring of 2000 that they would be launching a U.S. farewell tour in the summer, which became one of the year's top concert draws. But on the eve of a Japanese and Australian tour in early 2001, <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Peter Criss</a> suddenly left the band once again, supposedly discontent with his salary. Taking his place was previous Kiss drummer <a href="spotify:artist:7zEEexBlaAamW68arysqIZ">Eric Singer</a>, who in a controversial move for some longtime fans, donned <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Criss</a>' cat-man makeup (since <a href="spotify:artist:5gAbCaW9OmfIqqZGLpKb3f">Simmons</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5W0GCoUUwU3SF6qpJanlug">Stanley</a> own both <a href="spotify:artist:62olK5zZHSgFUXGDykgBL8">Frehley</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5DWj9QLyCN9dyQydd1P9QG">Criss</a>' makeup designs, there was no threat of a lawsuit) as the farewell tour continued. With the band scheduled to call it a day (supposedly) by late 2001, a mammoth career-encompassing box set was set for release later in the year, while the summer saw perhaps the most over-the-top piece of Kiss merchandise yet: the "Kiss Kasket," a real coffin fans could buy for $4,000. The group was relatively quiet throughout the rest of the year, but 2002 started with a bang as <a href="spotify:artist:5gAbCaW9OmfIqqZGLpKb3f">Gene Simmons</a> turned in an entertaining and controversial interview on NPR where he criticized the organization and berated host Terry Gross with sexual comments and condescending answers. He was promoting his autobiography at the time, which also caused dissent in the Kiss camp because of inflammatory remarks made about <a href="spotify:artist:62olK5zZHSgFUXGDykgBL8">Ace Frehley</a>. <a href="spotify:artist:62olK5zZHSgFUXGDykgBL8">Frehley</a> subsequently declined to appear at an American Bandstand anniversary show; his place was taken by a wig-wearing Tommy Thayer, and <a href="spotify:artist:5gAbCaW9OmfIqqZGLpKb3f">Simmons</a> was quick to dismiss the performance as another in a long series of money-oriented decisions. The band kept touring the globe with no new album in stores, but in 2008 they returned to the studio, re-recorded their hits, and released Jigoku-Retsuden aka KISSology or Kiss Klassics (the release was initially exclusive to Japan). In spring of 2009, the band began recording their first studio album in 11 years and released Sonic Boom in October. Produced by <a href="spotify:artist:5W0GCoUUwU3SF6qpJanlug">Paul Stanley</a> and Greg Collins, the album was exclusively distributed in North America by Wal-Mart. In 2012, the band's 20th studio album, Monster, surfaced, rewriting the cowbell-heavy party rock of their '70s heyday and adding some nods to the sinister metal of 1992's Revenge. In 2014, after 15 years of eligibility, Kiss was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The following year they released a collaborative single with the Japanese idol group <a href="spotify:artist:3Zl0EsuYV23OgNw6WqGelN">Momoiro Clover Z</a>. In 2017, a career-spanning single-disc best-of, Kissworld, was released to coincide with a massive world tour of the same name. The tour, which the band announced would be their final jaunt, was eventually renamed the "End of the Road" tour, and in true Kiss fashion, it was still going strong in 2021. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Greg Prato, Rovi

Rob Zombie
Rob Zombie
The longtime frontman for '90s industrial superstars <a href="spotify:artist:0CF71zaDOJWCynIkW9bSK8">White Zombie</a>, New England-bred multi-hyphenate Rob Zombie went on to forge a highly successful solo career and later branched off into the world of film. A lover of B-movie camp, horror nostalgia, and psychedelic imagery, his enduring 1998 debut Hellbilly Deluxe set him apart from contemporaries by balancing brutal metal power with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and sexiness that never took itself too seriously. Over the decades, he remained a fixture in the U.S. Top Ten, scoring additional hits with 2001's The Sinister Urge and 2006's Educated Horses. As his film career took off, he released cult favorites such as 2003's House of 1000 Corpses, 2005's The Devil's Rejects, and a pair of big-budget reboots for the Halloween series. In 2021, he issued his seventh set, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy, and in 2022 he appeared on the soundtrack for the film The Munsters, which he also wrote and directed. Born Robert Bartleh Cummings on January 12, 1966, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, his eclectic style was solidified early on: not only was he raised by parents who had worked in a carnival, but he was fascinated with horror movies from a young age. In addition to fostering his creative abilities in art school, he worked as a bike messenger, porn magazine art director, and production assistant for the classic children's TV series Pee Wee's Playhouse. Around this time, he founded the band <a href="spotify:artist:0CF71zaDOJWCynIkW9bSK8">White Zombie</a> with bassist Sean Yseult. They remained an underground act for much of the late '80s through a series of cult-favorite indie releases. It wasn't until the success of their 1992 major-label debut, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1, that Zombie was launched to new prominence within the music industry, allowing him to try his hand at animation (most notably a hallucinatory sequence of the feature film Beavis & Butt-Head Do America) and directing (he was slated to helm a third chapter of The Crow franchise, working from his own screenplay, but the studio eventually pulled out of the deal). In 1998, three years after the release of <a href="spotify:artist:0CF71zaDOJWCynIkW9bSK8">White Zombie</a>'s final studio album Astro-Creep: 2000, Zombie made his solo debut with the album Hellbilly Deluxe. When it sold more copies in its first week of release than any <a href="spotify:artist:0CF71zaDOJWCynIkW9bSK8">White Zombie</a> record before it, he disbanded the group to move on as a full-time solo act, quickly issuing Hellbilly remix album American Made Music to Strip By in the fall of 1999. Starting his own label, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Zombie-a-Go-Go+Records%22">Zombie-a-Go-Go Records</a>, he gave bands like <a href="spotify:artist:2dOGUGTTR0vKcexJaOOLMy">the Ghastly Ones</a> a home while creating demented mix CDs like Halloween Hootenanny. He delivered remixes to a number of soundtracks while recording a new song for the Mission Impossible: 2 soundtrack, and rounded out his first major solo run with a Rob Zombie toy produced by Todd McFarlane. He began to work on a feature film in April of 2000, funded by Universal Studios after he designed a horror display for their amusement parks. The film, House of 1000 Corpses, was produced and edited, but the studio backed out due to its own corporate standards. Zombie wrangled the rights to the film from the studio while taking out his frustrations on his next solo record, The Sinister Urge. Again working with collaborator Scott Humphrey (who had produced his first record), he drafted in a metal superstar cast including <a href="spotify:artist:6ZLTlhejhndI4Rh53vYhrY">Ozzy Osbourne</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1IQ2e1buppatiN1bxUVkrk">Slayer</a> guitarist Kerry King, <a href="spotify:artist:0cc6vw3VN8YlIcvr1v7tBL">Mötley Crüe</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:0AnjaOjAt53Ej9223SQv2p">Methods of Mayhem</a> drummer <a href="spotify:artist:4b9L0p4cMof32XvjwT9YrX">Tommy Lee</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:165ZgPlLkK7bf5bDoFc6Sb">Limp Bizkit</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:2ajHgsmpiyhXrx3JoigTO2">DJ Lethal</a>. The record was another success, leading to a huge Christmas tour with <a href="spotify:artist:6ZLTlhejhndI4Rh53vYhrY">Osbourne</a> at the end of 2001 and another solo tour in the spring of 2002. Zombie sold House of 1000 Corpses to MGM for a Halloween release, although offers from several smaller studios had to be refused because of the financial loss he would have taken. The film was a cult hit, prompting Zombie to begin work on his next piece of celluloid, 2005's Devil's Rejects. He returned to the recording studio in 2006 for Educated Horses, which veered down a more experimental path that included blues guitar, acoustic tracks, and even a sitar. Despite debuting in the Top Ten of the Billboard album charts and receiving a Grammy nomination for "The Lords of Salem," it was his first album not to receive certification from the RIAA. A pair of best-of collections -- including hits from both <a href="spotify:artist:0CF71zaDOJWCynIkW9bSK8">White Zombie</a> and his solo discography -- were released that year. After a stint as director and co-writer of the 2007 remake of Halloween, Zombie Live, his first live album, was released in October 2007, the same month that he began an arena tour with <a href="spotify:artist:6ZLTlhejhndI4Rh53vYhrY">Ozzy Osbourne</a>. The release of his next studio album was pushed back due to Zombie's involvement with Halloween II and in 2010, Zombie released Hellbilly Deluxe 2, his first solo album written with the help of his band (which featured <a href="spotify:artist:7mAqCk75DUBWgcC0sqhzwX">John 5</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:77qohgrDf7G6hqpgV0kBK8">Piggy D.</a>). Intended as a sequel to his breakout solo debut, it was supported by Zombie's first world tour in a decade. Another remix album, Mondo Sex Head, arrived in 2012 and included reworkings from his back catalog by producers like <a href="spotify:artist:3hXDMlrPegHRO0zUvBsRSI">Photek</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0QJKELJZZuLAjqLOOixJm5">the Bloody Beetroots</a>. In early 2013, Zombie returned with his fifth studio album, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, which would be Zombie's lowest-selling album to date, despite its Top Ten Billboard debut. Months later, his film The Lords of Salem was released in theaters, accompanied by a soundtrack featuring songs by Zombie, <a href="spotify:artist:2Hkut4rAAyrQxRdof7FVJq">Rush</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1nJvji2KIlWSseXRSlNYsC">the Velvet Underground</a>. In the years that followed, he returned his focus to his horror empire, creating the Great American Nightmare haunted house attraction, which incorporated characters from his cult films. He also began work on another movie, the crowd-funded killer clown flick 31 (which premiered at Sundance in 2016). He also released his first concert film, The Zombie Horror Picture Show, in 2014, followed by his second live album, Spookshow International Live, in 2015. Zombie's sixth studio LP, The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser, was released in April 2016. Featuring an abrasive, industrial edge that hadn't been heard since Sinister Urge, Electric Warlock was produced by Zeuss and recorded at Goathouse Studios by Zombie and his band, which included former <a href="spotify:artist:2VYQTNDsvvKN9wmU5W7xpj">Marilyn Manson</a> bandmates <a href="spotify:artist:7mAqCk75DUBWgcC0sqhzwX">John 5</a> and Ginger Fish, as well as bassist <a href="spotify:artist:77qohgrDf7G6hqpgV0kBK8">Piggy D</a>. That year, he also released the film 31 and recorded his band's set from Riot Fest for Astro Creep: 2000 Live, which arrived in 2018. Months later, he reunited with <a href="spotify:artist:2VYQTNDsvvKN9wmU5W7xpj">Marilyn Manson</a> for a joint headlining summer tour, which was kicked off by their collaborative cover of "Helter Skelter." Zombie closed the decade with the final installment of his Firefly family film trilogy, 3 from Hell, which was released in late 2019. On Halloween weekend 2020, the next album era was launched with "The Triumph of King Freak (A Crypt of Preservation and Superstition)," the Grammy-nominated single from 2021's The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy. Issued in March, the album became Zombie's seventh consecutive Top Ten on the Billboard 200. In 2022, he produced, wrote, and directed the horror comedy film The Munsters and appeared on the soundtrack. ~ Neil Z. Yeung & Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Murderdolls
Murderdolls
Murderdolls are a collaboration between <a href="spotify:artist:05fG473iIaoy82BF1aGhL8">Slipknot</a> drummer Joey Jordison (who moved over to guitar for this project) and <a href="spotify:artist:7JDSHlDdVTo7aZKdQZ53Vf">Static-X</a> guitarist Tripp Eisen. Landing somewhere between the aggressive throb of rap-metal and the energetic charge of hardcore punk, Murderdolls formed when the two toured together during the 1999 Ozzfest. Drafting singer <a href="spotify:artist:6Cvzf33JDzCIw2eJU8npQo">Wednesday 13</a>, bassist Eric Griffin, and drummer Ben Graves into the mix, the band recorded and released Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls in 2002. The album sold modestly in the States, and charted in the U.K. and Japan, but by 2004 the group was on an indefinite hiatus. Murderdolls returned in 2010, although without Griffin or Graves, and released their second studio album, Women and Children Last, which featured guest guitar work on two cuts from <a href="spotify:artist:0cc6vw3VN8YlIcvr1v7tBL">Mötley Crüe</a>'s <a href="spotify:artist:5zSvn5I6wIFwEgFxIIaqJc">Mick Mars</a>. Guitarist Joey Jordison died on July 26, 2021 at the age of 46. ~ Bradley Torreano, Rovi
