Newly discovered, unreleased material from late
Eric "The Fox" Carr, who was the drummer for
KISS between 1980 and 1991, will be released by his family later this year. The songs all are from the era 1984-1991. It's not known at this time whether the family will release an EP or if they will just make the tracks available for download through the official
Eric Carr web site, www.ericcarr.com. Most of these songs were performed by
Carr, and some were co-written with
KISS bassist/vocalist
Gene Simmons. One of the tracks is titled
"Elephant Man" and was intended for
KISS' 1992 album
"Revenge", but
Carr sadly passed away due to cancer in November of 1991 and was unable to see the song make its way to the CD. There's also a 1984 song written by
Carr, which he presented to
KISS for the album that became
"Animalize". Entitled
"Midnight Stranger", the track was written and performed by
Carr. One of his favorite tunes,
"Dial L For Love", which he co-wrote with
Gene Simmons and
Adam Mitchell, is also part of the newly discovered material. Other songs include a never-released demo of
Eric's tune
"Tiara" plus a complete song written and performed by
Eric along with
Mitch Weissman. Titled
"The Troubles Inside You", this track features
Carr on drums, guitars and background vocals, with
Weissman on bass guitar and lead vocals.
