iTune Charts

Check it out - KISS' "Hell or Hallelujah" single is topping the charts all over the world!

Here are some of the most recent fan reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars By PyroMessiah

Brilliant stuff! The second kick ass lead single in a row following the equally kick ass 'Modern Day Delilah' from the last album Sonic Boom.

MONSTER will be a KILLER album if this single is anything to go by. Fast paced and powerful. Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars By Anthony Williams

Looks like KISS fans won't be disappointed with the new album when it's out if this track is anything to go by. A good solid tune with the classic Kiss style, reminiscent of the earlier years but still with the Sonic Boom feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars By Neal.W

KISS are back with a BANG! With what Paul Stanley described as just great rock n roll! and I couldn't agree more. Following on from the great Sonic Boom album, Kiss seem to have stepped it up another gear for this new single and hopefully the new album {out in oct 2012}. This track still has the old Kiss feel with great riffs and a catchy chorus but this time with a harder edge, what's not to like.

5.0 out of 5 stars By S. E. Jones

Was expecting to be disappointed by this song. After the excellent Sonic Boom album, there was a lot more anticipation leading up to the new material... I need not have worried. Following the rule that if it ain't broke, don't fix it... Hell or Hallelujah has all of the best bits of KISS from the late 70's through to the mid 80's.... and (listening to it as I write this) it's just put a whopping smile on my face... Just listen to that gonzoid guitar attack!!! AWESOME!

5.0 out of 5 stars By Martin

Wow. A fantastic return to rocking form for the men in the make-up. If the upcoming album Monster is half as good as this track, it's going to be immense!

5.0 out of 5 stars By BILL DOOR "STOOOPOTT!"

This is a real return to KISS of old. A brilliant song, and with a one off concert on 04/07/12 in London for Help For Heroes, the 'Hottest band in the World' are back.

5.0 out of 5 stars By Crad

Excellent new single from the mighty KISS from their upcoming new album Monster.
If all the songs are as good as this Kiss fans are in for a real treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Joshua Sharrock

I have been waiting for this single and the whole album for ages! This is more than I expected, one again KISS have outdone themselves. Great pounding in your face guitars. Can't wait till the whole of "Monster" comes out!

Japan Tour

Rock And Roll Over Tour（1977）

KISS arrived in Japan on March 19 at 3:40P.M. on Pan-Am flight 801. On March 21 KISS held a press conference at Osaka Expo Hall where rehearsals would be held from the 21st to the 23rd. KISS didn't change costumes or set lists for the shows in Japan, but KISS did debut a completely new stage. The shows at Budokan were videotaped by the Japanese national TV network NHK. A 50 minute, edited version of the performances aired during an episode of "Young Music Show" in Japan and on May 7, 1977.

Alive II Tour(1978)

KISS stickers with all five of the Tokyo dates listed were given away in Japan, presumably at the venue. One of the five Budokan shows was archived on audio, although there is no way to determine which one. March 31, however, is most commonly listed as the source of the audiotape.

Crazy Nights Tour（1988）

After a 10-year absence, KISS was brought back by the promoter Mr. Udo for a well-received tour of Japan. The Japanese TV network NHK was also back on board and purchased th rights to record and broadcast the April 22 Tokyo concert. The set lists for the shows in Japan were constructed from requests submitted by KISS's Japanese fan club.

Alive 1995 Tour（1995）

A week prior to the start of the short Japanese tour, Japan had been ravaged by one of the worst earthquakes in its history. KISS recorded live versions of "Strutter" and "Rock Bottom" at a sound check before the January 30 concert in Tokyo for use on a KISS AID phone line set up to benefit victims of the earthquake.

Alive/Worldwide Tour（1997）

The January 20 concert in Nagoya, prior to "New York Groove," the audience sang "Happy Birthday" to Paul. The January 22 concert in Osaka, due to a throat infection, Gene only sang lead vocals on the first verse of "Deuce" and shared them with Paul on "God Of Thunder." Both "Calling Dr. Love" and "Watchin' You" were dropped from the set list for the night.

Farewell Tour(2001)

On September 15, 2000, KISS announced Japanese tour date for The Farewell Tour in November.however, on September 21, Udo Artists issued a statement that KISS had postponed their tour of Japan due to "scheduling circumstances." After several months of relative silence, KISS dropped a bombshell. On January 31, an announcement was made on the KISS Online that Eric Singer had rejoined KISS to complete the band's world tour.

Alive 2003 Tour(2003)

KISS and The Rolling Stones stayed at the same hotel. KISS attended the Stones-concert on March 10 at Budokan. And KISS did three concertｓ at Budokan and a concert at Yokohama Arena. KISS played on a what looked like cut down stage/set compared to previous tours here in Japan. There were still walls of amps at the back, stairs on both sides of the drum set, so it is probably similar to what they would have had around the Alive era. However because this hall is not too big, almost everyone would have a great view. The Japanese fans were as passionate and crazy as ever.

Rock The Nation Tour(2004)

KISS did a six-concert tour of Japan. The tour marked the return of Eric Singer on the drums who once again replaced Peter Criss whose contract was not renewed by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Ticket sales were strong in Japan.

Rising Sun Tour(2006)

The July 18 concert in Nagoya, KISS rocked Rainbow Hall, tearing through a set list which included the first ever Japanese performance of "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em" and several other classics not played on their 2004 visit to Japan, including "Black Diamond with Eric on lead vocals. On July 20 in Fukuoka, set additions were "Deuce", "Heaven's On Fire" and a rare performance of "Kissin' Time."

Monster Tour(2013)

After a 8-year absence, on June 10, 2013, KISS announced Japan's tour date for the Monster Tour in October. KISS did 4-concert tour of Japan.

The concert at Budokan on October 24 was shown on Japanese WOWOW TV.
