Revenge is the sixteenth studio album by KISS, released on May 19, 1992. It was the band's first album after the death of long-time drummer Eric Carr in November 1991. His replacement, Eric Singer, had played with Black Sabbath, Brian May, Alice Cooper and even Paul Stanley, among others. The album was dedicated to Carr, and the last track ("Carr Jam 1981") was a demo he had recorded soon after joining the group. One modification to the song, however, was the dubbing of Bruce Kulick's guitar over Ace Frehley's, which originally appeared. The main riff of the song was used as the basis for the Frehley's Comet song "Breakout", found on 1987's Frehley's Comet.

First Kiss, Last Licks is the last of the extremely rare, promo only KISS vinyl. Never sold to the public, the LP was sent out to radio stations to promote the LP. This was also the only time KISS released an entire LP as a promo only.

Hot in the Shade is the fifteenth studio album by KISS. Released October 17, 1989, it is the first KISS studio album since 1981's Music from "The Elder" to feature three members singing lead vocals on the album. It also marked the last KISS album with drummer Eric Carr before his death in 1991.

Smashes, Thrashes & Hits is a greatest hits album by KISS. It was the fourth hits album overall but the second such album released by the band in the United States (Killers & Chikara were not released in the United States). Of the 15 songs on the album, two were new compositions and three were released after the band's unmasking in 1983. The remaining ten were all released during the band's years in makeup.

Chikara (Japanese for "power") is a compilation album by KISS. A Japanese CD only compilation. Very rare. Released in anticipation of the Japan Tour 1988. Only 100,000 copies of this compilation were made. Early copies included a special sew-on patch of the Chikara symbol. Chikara picture discs are NOT official, and are bootleg. Please Note: There are bootleg copies of this CD, you can tell the difference by slight variations in the quality of the cover print - mainly in the details such as clarity of the eyes and patches on jackets. If it isn't clear, it's probably fake.
