Turns out Kiss weren\u2019t entirely done after all.<\/h2>\n

More than two years after wrapping up their supposedly final \u2018End Of The Road\u2019 tour at Madison Square Garden, Gene Simmons<\/a><\/em><\/strong> has confirmed that the band are back in the studio and have already recorded a brand new song written by Paul Stanley.<\/p>\n

The update came during an appearance on the online fan show Kiss By Sienna<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, hosted by Sienna Hernandez, where Simmons was asked what he and Stanley had been working on since the band\u2019s farewell run ended in late 2023.<\/p>\n

\u2018Kiss is in the studio now,\u2019 Simmons revealed. \u2018So we just recorded a new song, as a matter of fact, that Paul wrote. I can\u2019t tell you more about it. And that\u2019ll be coming out at some point.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

For a band that heavily marketed \u2018End Of The Road\u2019 as their final chapter, the news probably won\u2019t shock longtime Kiss<\/a><\/em><\/strong> fans all that much, Kiss have never really operated like a band comfortable with silence, and over the past year it\u2019s become increasingly obvious that retirement wasn\u2019t going to mean complete inactivity.<\/p>\n

New documentary <\/h2>\n

Alongside the new material, Simmons also confirmed he\u2019s currently working on a documentary focused on the band\u2019s massive farewell tour, which stretched between 2019 and 2023, the bassist additionally used the interview to promote his upcoming Legends Of Rock<\/em> event in Las Vegas, featuring names like Geezer Butler, Lita Ford, Steven Pearcy, and Dave Davies (per Louder Sound<\/a><\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The new studio update also connects directly to Kiss\u2019 long-discussed avatar project, which is currently scheduled to launch in 2028, earlier this year, Simmons and Stanley confirmed the digital concert experience would feature not only classic tracks but also unreleased new music written by the band.<\/p>\n

\u2018We will have all the classics through the years and some surprises,\u2019 Simmons previously explained. \u2018And also new songs\u2026 written by us.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether these new recordings eventually become standalone singles, part of the avatar project, or something larger remains unclear for now.<\/p>\n

Kiss have already quietly returned to live performances too. The band reunited last November for two \u2018unmasked\u2019 appearances during Kiss Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas<\/em>, and they\u2019ve already confirmed another edition of the event for November 2026 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

So while the touring version of Kiss may have slowed down, it\u2019s becoming pretty clear that \u2018End Of The Road\u2019 wasn\u2019t exactly the end.<\/p>\n
