about this album
Revenge is a studio album by Kiss, released in 1992. It was the band's first album after the death of long-time drummer Eric Carr in November 1991.

Ezrin had last worked with the group on 1981's ill-fated concept album, Music from "The Elder". Prior to that, he produced the band's highly successful Destroyer album in 1976. Vincent, who in December 1982 had replaced original guitarist Ace Frehley, was fired from Kiss at the conclusion of their Lick It Up tour in March 1984, for reasons that have never been fully explained. Vincent received co-writing credit for three songs on Revenge.
