Gene Simmons recently revealed that he has been writing a few songs and came across a few tracks that were said to fit Kiss and could potentially lead to a new album.

According to a report by NU.nl, Simmons stated that they have time next year to possibly start with the new Kiss album.

He revealed that the band has a few shows lined up for this year and that they would certainly hit the studios after they're done with the scheduled appearances.

"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."

In the same interview, the bassist revealed how he plans to co-produce the record alongside singer Paul Stanley.

"I'm glad about that - I no longer have the energy to come to the studio every day," he said, as they plan about the new Kiss album. "Paul doesn't have so many other things in his life that demand attention, so he can concentrate fully on the project."

Meanwhile, Paul Stanley revealed in a Team Rock interview how they would prepare a new record after releasing "Sonic Boom."

"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."
