About

Asylum is the thirteenth studio album by the American rock band Kiss. It features the debut of lead guitarist Bruce Kulick, who played on Animalize (ghost guitarist for "Lonely Is The Hunter"), and filled in for guitarist Mark St. John (Mark Norton) for their European and American Animalize tour, and officially replaced Mark St. John in December 1984. He was the band's third lead guitarist since the departure of Ace Frehley in late 1982. The new lineup of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Carr, and Bruce Kulick would last for six years until Carr's death in November 1991. Stylistically, Asylum went to a light glam rock sound (although not as light as its successor) and is considered the first in a trilogy of Kiss albums along with Crazy Nights and Hot in the Shade, in contrast to the heavy rock of the previous three albums, Creatures of the Night, Lick It Up, and Animalize.
