Kiss singer Paul Stanley has said the band may enter the studio to record new material together.

The American band have been against the idea in the past, preferring to tour their more established material.

But in an interview with Classic Rock, Stanley said he was “much more open to it (the idea of recording a new album) now”.

"I thought that I'd be content for Kiss to remain a heritage act. just playing our greatest hits – 'Detroit Rock City' and all that,” he said.

“But the new Kiss line-up with Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer is proving to be so good, so strong in spirit, it would interesting to see how we perform in the studio."

Although the band haven't confirmed any studio time, Stanley said he had an idea of what new material would sound like.

"If we were to go into the studio the intention would be to make a Kiss album in the style of our '70s recordings. A classic Kiss album, unmistakably," he said.
