\n2014 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and former KISS guitarist ACE FREHLEY has made history with his new album Space Invader, which debuted at #9 on the Top 200 Chart this week. The LP scores the highest charting position of ANY Kiss solo album ever, and marks Frehley\u2019s first return to the Top 10 since KISS\u2019s 1998 Pyscho Circus reunion album. The album has also sold better in first week sales than Kiss\u2019 recently released Kiss 40 album. Internationally, Space Invader has debuted #1 on the Independent Chart and #16 on the Top 200 Chart in Canada, Top 40 in Switzerland and Sweden, and hit a historic benchmark for the first time ever as a solo artist in Germany.<\/p>\n
Space Invader, Frehley\u2019s first studio album in five years, has also received praise from critics. Rolling Stone wrote, \u201cGene Simmons has claimed Ace Frehley doesn\u2019t deserve to wear Kiss\u2019 Kabuki clown paint, but the former Spaceman\u2019s first solo LP in five years says otherwise,\u201d while Associated Press hailed, \u201c\u2026the original Kiss lead guitarist has recorded his best solo album since his groundbreaking self-titled album in 1978.\u201d Paste also confirmed, \u201cSpace Invader is a good rock album, and it\u2019s an even better guitar record.\u201d<\/p>\n
Space Invader features nine brand new original songs, including the first single, \u201cGimme a Feelin\u2019,\u201d as well as a cover of Steve Miller\u2019s classic rock staple \u201cThe Joker.\u201d Frehley also tapped long time friend and artist Ken Kelly to create the album art for Space Invader. Kelly created the iconic cover art for two of KISS\u2019s best selling LPS, Destroyer (1976) and Love Gun (1977).<\/p>\n
Widely known as the original \u201cSpace Ace\u201d and founding guitarist for 16 cumulative years (over 2 tenures) of the multi platinum selling rock band KISS, Frehley is demonstrably the most popular original member. In addition to having the best selling solo album career (vintage or current) among the original foursome, Frehley\u2019s self titled Ace Frehley (1978), went on to sell over one million copies, producing the only Top 40 single, \u201cNew York Groove,\u201d from any of the legendary KISS solo albums. The massive hit was most recently featured in an episode of cult show Entourage and was also KISS\u2019 second best selling download in 2012, besting such KISS Army anthems as \u201cI Was Made For Lovin\u2019 You,\u201d \u201cBeth\u201d and \u201cCalling Dr. Love\u201d even after 36 years.<\/p>\n
Since departing from KISS, Frehley went on to release four more solo albums and one live EP including his most recent effort, Anomaly in 2009, which debuted at #27 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Ace also released an autobiography titled \u201cNo Regrets,\u201d which debuted at #10 on the NY Times Hardcover Non-Fiction best seller list in November 2011. 2014 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and former KISS guitarist ACE FREHLEY has…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40743\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
