Kiss begin work on first album in 11 years

Kiss have begun work on the long awaited follow-up to 1998's Psycho Circus.

The band's show at Simon Bolivar Park in Bogata, Columbia on April 11 is expected to go ahead as planned, even though Columbian authorities are currently debating whether any more heavy metal concerts will be allowed to take palce in the country following a riot before an Iron Maiden concert over the weekend.
