This is the tenth studio album from the Band KISS. Released October 13, 1982 on Casablanca/Polygram Records. It is the band’s last album for Casablanca Records, the only label the group had ever recorded for up to that point. The album was dedicated to the memory of Casablanca founder and early Kiss supporter Neil Bogart, who had died of cancer during the recording sessions. It was also the last album for the band in makeup. The album represented a conscious effort on Kiss’s part to return to the style of hard rock that had helped them achieve commercial success with Destroyer and Love Gun. Their pop-oriented albums, Dynasty and Unmasked, had started a decline in popularity that bottomed out with 1981′s Music from “The Elder”. By 1982 Kiss knew it needed to deliver on their earlier 1980-81 promise of a heavy record, which they had failed to deliver, if they were to continue as a band. The first key ingredient was songwriter/guitarist Vinnie Vincent, with whom the band had recently begun writing and recording, and was soon to replace Ace Frehley as the band’s new lead guitarist. Frehley did not perform on Creatures even though his face (for contractual reasons) was still featured on the album cover; thus this was Vincent’s first album with the band. On the tour, Vincent was introduced with the Egyptian Ankh makeup. (The band later re-released the album in their non-makeup era with a cover featuring Gene Simmons, Stanley, Eric Carr, and then-current guitarist Bruce Kulick). I have included complete scans from the original US pressing.
