Ace Frehley Signs With Season Of Mist
Season of Mist recently announced a deal with legendary guitarist ACE FREHLEY, of KISS fame.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Ace has emerged to add a new exclamation point to his celebrated solo career. Scheduled for release on September 15th, the original KISS guitarist's fifth solo album, "Anomaly," will be released on his own Bronx Born Records, with Rocket Science (USA) and Season of Mist (Europe) providing full label service platforms.
To commemorate the event, Gibson has created their second ACE FREHLEY signature Les Paul guitar. The first, in 1997, was one of the best-selling signature models of all time.
The record includes several nods to his distinguished career throughout, from the pickup acrobatics of "Fractured Quantum", through a supercharged cover of SWEET's 1975 classic "Fox on the Run" to the unmistakable signature solo on "Outer Space" and wah-wah scourge of "Genghis Khan" (featuring backup vocals from MEAT LOAF's daughter Pearl Aday).
