KISS have released two tracks from upcoming album Monster. Listen to Long Way Down and All For the Love of Rock & Roll below.

Fans are expecting great things after the success of 2009′s Sonic Boom – the record they made after spending years insisting they wouldn’t return to the studio.

Gene Simmons says it’s all down to the band’s most recent additions. “Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer have revitalised us,” he explains. “They have a work ethic and the talent to back it up.

“There are no symphony orchestras, boy choirs, keyboards, outside producers or songwriters on this album. The best thing we did was to turn inwards to ourselves.”
Monster is released October 8th.

“Nobody ever paid money to see Harry Houdini escape being buried alive” says Ex- Gutter Twins / Ex-The Twilight Singers guitarist / keyboardist and My Jerusalem founder and singer Jeff Klein. “They wanted the small chance of seeing him killed by the weight of the earth on top of him”.

Behold the concept behind Preachers, the second full-length release from Austin’s My Jerusalem. From the opening piano of the haunting title track, to the unexpected pummeling guitar and drums on closer I Left My Conscience In You, Preachers leads the listener on a cinematic journey through a reckless, jagged landscape of Raymond Carver-esque stories, fueled by Klein’s persuasive baritone, ominous guitars, dream-like keyboards and a deep rhythmic pulse.

Recorded in under three weeks by Spoon d...
