About

<i>Destroyer</i> has everything we want in a Kiss collection. We could pump our fists all night long to hard-hitting anthems like "Shout It Out Loud," "Detroit Rock City," and "Flaming Youth," but this LP goes a step beyond the group's usual brand of top-shelf, face-melting rock. Experimental flourishes like the boys' choir on "Great Expectations" and the heartfelt strings on the tender ballad "Beth" make this album totally unique and unmistakably Kiss.

Destroyer is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Kiss, released 1976.
The song "King of the Night Time World" is a rewrite of a song by the band The Hollywood Stars from the album Shine Like A Radio - The Great Lost 1974 Album (UK 2013) (opens in a new tab).
Early pressings of the album featured an additional track at end of Do You Love Me, they can be quickly identified by having a small 6th band on side B.
