Kiss - Destroyer
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Destroyer is the fourth studio album and fifth album overall by hard
rock band Kiss, released on March 15, 1976 in the United States. It
was the second consecutive Kiss album to reach the Top 20 in the United
States, as well as the first to chart in Germany and New Zealand. The
album was certified gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1976. It was certified
platinum on November 11, 1976, the first Kiss album to achieve that distinction.

Coming on the heels of the group's breakthrough album Alive!, Destroyer is
easily the most ambitious studio recording of Kiss's '70s catalogue. Bob Ezrin,
who had previously worked with Alice Cooper, was brought in to produce the
album. Among the production flourishes Ezrin introduced to Kiss were sound
effects, strings, screaming children and reversed drums [on "God of Thunder">
as well as a children's choir.

Destroyer is the first Kiss album to prominently feature outside musicians,
such as members of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra. However, one
musician was not credited: Dick Wagner, from Alice Cooper's band, replaced
Ace Frehley on tracks such as "Sweet Pain" [as Frehley didn't want to interrupt
a card game he was playing during recording sessions for the song] and even on a
song that Frehley himself co-wrote, "Flaming Youth". Wagner also played the
acoustic guitar found on the song "Beth". The success of Alive! and Destroyer
enabled the band to embark on their first tour of Europe.

Throughout the years, "Detroit Rock City", "God of Thunder", "Shout It Out Loud"
and "Do You Love Me" have become permanent staples on the band's concerts. "Beth"
was last played live on the band's Dec. 20, 2003 concert at Save Mart Center in Fresno,
CA the last show of the World Domination Tour[3]; after drummer Peter Criss' final
departure, the band permanently retired the song from their set list.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 496 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of
the 500 greatest albums of all time.
