Creatures of the Night was originally released on October 13, 1982 and is the tenth studio album by KISS. The last album recorded with Ace Frehley credited as an official member (until 1988’s Psycho Circus),Creatures of the Night was an attempt by KISS to return to the hard rock style that found on their earlier albums Destroyer and Love Gun. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in 1994, and was released to generally positive reviews.

By 1982’s Creatures of the Night, Kiss had finally ditched their plans of becoming “respectable artists” (starting with 1979’s Dynasty) and had come to the realization that they were a loud, no-holds-barred heavy metal band. Easily their best since 1977’s Love Gun, Creatures of the Night contains very little filler and sounds as if Kiss had been reborn (it also includes one of the heaviest drum sounds ever captured in the studio by any rock band). The band is inspired and enthusiastic throughout, especially on such rockers as the opening title track, “Killer,” “War Machine,” “Saint and Sinner,” and one of their great anthems, “I Love It Loud.” Also included is one of Kiss’ better ballads, “I Still Love You” (later featured on 1996’s Unplugged set), as well as “Rock and Roll Hell,” a song written about Ace Frehley, who would soon officially make his resignation from the band public. Guitarist Vinnie Vincent (real name: Vinnie Cusano) handles guitar duties here and was eventually named as Frehley’s replacement, playing on the ensuing tour. Although Creatures of the Night deserved to be the album that put Kiss back on top of the charts, it performed below expectations (topping out at number 45), as did its tour. Hence, the album is one of Kiss’ most underrated. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the makeup had grown stale and was now getting in the way of their music. The time had finally come for the band to unmask. -AllMusic Review by Greg Prato
