Valora este álbum

Revenge es un álbum de Kiss, publicado en 1992 por PolyGram. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Unholy», «Take It Off», «Tough Love» y «Spit».

Lanzado en 1992, Revenge es el decimosexto álbum de estudio de Kiss y es aclamado como una poderosa resurrección artística. Tras una década de glam metal, la banda se reunió con el productor de "Destroyer", Bob Ezrin, para crear su álbum más pesado, oscuro y contundente desde los años 70. "Revenge" es una obra de heavy metal y hard rock con un sonido moderno y agresivo que sorprendió a todos en plena era del grunge. El álbum está dedicado a la memoria del batería Eric Carr, fallecido en 1991, y presenta a su reemplazo, Eric Singer. Con un sonido potente y una colección de canciones excepcionales, "Revenge" fue un éxito de crítica y público que demostró la increíble capacidad de la banda para reinventarse y recuperar su trono en el mundo del rock.

Antes de entrar al estudio

El álbum nació de un período trágico. La muerte de Eric Carr por cáncer devastó a la banda, pero también los unió con un nuevo propósito. La decisión de volver a trabajar con Bob Ezrin fue clave para recuperar la disciplina y la visión artística. Ezrin los empujó a crear un álbum que fuera a la vez clásico y contemporáneo. La grabación, con el potente batería Eric Singer, fue un proceso intenso. La banda también reconectó con su antiguo guitarrista, Vinnie Vincent, quien coescribió varias canciones, incluyendo la potente "Unholy".

Estilo y propuesta sonora

El sonido de "Revenge" es heavy metal con un toque de metal alternativo de los 90. Es pesado, oscuro y con una producción impecable de Ezrin. Las guitarras de Bruce Kulick son afiladas y potentes, la batería de Singer es atronadora, y la voz de Gene Simmons, que canta en muchas de las canciones más pesadas, vuelve a sonar demoníaca. Es un sonido que, sorprendentemente, encajaba bien con la atmósfera más oscura del rock de principios de los 90.

Repaso a las canciones

El álbum se abre con la furiosa "Unholy", uno de los temas más pesados de su carrera. El primer sencillo, "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II", una versión de la banda Argent, se convirtió en un himno mundial. "Domino" es un rock con un riff inspirado en The Rolling Stones. La balada "Every Time I Look at You" es una de las mejores de Paul Stanley. El álbum se cierra con un breve solo de batería de Eric Carr, "Carr Jam 1981", como un emotivo homenaje.

Lanzamiento y rendimiento en listas

"Revenge" fue un éxito de ventas y el álbum más aclamado por la crítica de su era sin maquillaje.

Acogida de la crítica

La crítica aclamó "Revenge" como un regreso triunfal a la forma. Fue elogiado por su sonido potente y su consistencia. Se consideró su mejor álbum desde los años 70. "Revenge" es un disco fundamental que demostró que, incluso después de casi 20 años de carrera, Kiss seguía siendo una fuerza vital en el mundo del rock.

    I was there through the ages Chained slaves to their cages I have seen you eat your own I'm the cycle of pain Of a thousand year old reign I'm suicide and salvation The omen to nations That you worship on all fours I'm the infection and famine That's knocking at your door That's why you're feeling so Unholy Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
