Packed with concert staples and KISS Army favorites including “Detroit Rock City,” “Shout It Out Loud,” “God Of Thunder” and “Beth,”Destroyerwas originally released in 1976 and is considered to be one of the quintessentialKISSalbums. It is the band’s first album to sell one million copies in its first year and holds the title of being their all-time best selling studio album.

For the recording ofDestroyer,Bob Ezrinwas brought in asKISS’snew producer, helping the band reach new levels, both sonically and creatively. The album also showed the band’s growth as musicians and songwriters, experimenting with new sounds which came in the form of the softer side of songs like “Do You Love Me?,” and songs heavy with orchestral arrangements including “Great Expectations” and their Billboard No. 7 hit single “Beth.” Following the breakthrough success of 1975’s No. 9 Billboard chartingAlive!,Destroyerwas theKISSalbum that brought them to the forefront of the mainstream and transformed them into global rock icons.
