NEW YORK, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- The first album Gene Simmons' new U.S. record label will produce this spring will be his own second solo album.
The Kiss frontman will launch his Simmons Records/Sanctuary Music Group label April 20 with the release of his album, "***hole," Billboard reported Monday.
The album will feature everything from hard rock and blues to power ballads, the music magazine said.
It is the follow-up to Simmons' 1978 self-titled solo debut, released in conjunction with albums by each of the original members of Kiss.
Issued on the Casablanca label, "Gene Simmons" peaked at No. 22 on The Billboard 200.
"Doing a solo record is important because I write so many different kinds of songs," Simmons told Billboard. "I literally have hundreds of songs that are demoed up that aren't right for Kiss, and some songs that weren't used on Kiss records I still like."
