INTO THE
BATTLEFIELD OF LUST
WE THUNDER
LIKE TITANS CLASHING
THROUGH THE NIGHT
OVER WHO WILL
WEAR THE
CROWN ON PASSION
is the first
studio album
by
released in
1986
through
Chrysalis Records.
Background
Six of the album's songs
were originally demoed
by Vincent
in 1984
for possible inclusion
on the
follow-up album to
KISS'S
Lick It Up.
Two singles
were released,
"Boyz Are Gonna Rock"
and
"Back on the Streets".
A music video
was only made for
"Boyz Are Gonna Rock",
a song based on
a demo from
Vincent's earlier band
Warrior
that was also
partly reused for the
Kiss song
"And on the 8th Day".
In the video for
"Boyz Are Gonna Rock,"
the singer in the video is
Mark Slaughter
rather than the
actual singer
Fleischman left the band
prior to filming the video
and Mark Slaughter
lip-synched to
Fleischman's vocals.
"Back on the Streets"
was originally written
by Vincent
with musician
Richie Friedman
in 1981,
demoed but not used
for the
Kiss
album
Creatures of the Night
album
and recorded by
3 Speed
for the 1984 movie
Voyage of the Rock Aliens.
It was later covered by
Europe's
original guitarist
John Norum
for his 1987
solo album
Total Control.
This song was
also played by
Ace Frehley
during his earliest shows
with his
post-Kiss band
Frehley's Comet
in 1985
and also
demoed by
his band as well
during this time,
but the song has
never appeared on
any of
Ace Frehley's
solo albums.
For the CD
and cassette versions
of the album,
the song
"Invasion"
contained about
three minutes
of
looping guitar
feedback
at the end
of the song.
The record version
had the same feedback,
but it would not end
unless the needle
was picked up,
because the sound went
all the way to the end
of the vinyl,
causing the sound
to loop repeatedly.
The liner notes state
that no pedals,
outboard gear
or synthesizers
were used
anywhere on
the album.
