Season of Mist Records made the following announcement via their Myspace page:
The whole Season of Mist staff is immensely proud to announce we inked a deal with legendary guitarist ACE FREHLEY, of KISS fame!
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Space Ace has emerged to add a new exclamation point to his celebrated solo career. Scheduled for liftoff on September 15th, the original KISS guitarist's fifth solo album, “Anomaly”, will be released on his own Bronx Born Records, with Rocket Science (USA) and Season of Mist (Europe) providing full label service platforms.
To commemorate the event, Gibson has created their second ACE FREHLEY signature Les Paul guitar – the first (in 1997) was one of the best-selling signature models of all time.
One of the most beloved personalities in rock 'n' roll, Ace is the man behind not only KISS' iconic logo, but the all-time stadium classic “New York Groove”. The record includes several nods to his distinguished career throughout, from the pickup acrobatics of “Fractured Quantum”, through a supercharged cover of SWEET's 1975 classic “Fox on the Run” to the unmistakable signature solo on “Outer Space” and wah-wah scourge of “Genghis Khan” (featuring backup vocals from MEAT LOAF's daughter Pearl Aday). It should go without saying, but “this album has some heavy, heavy songs,” Ace promises.
