About this listen

Long before you heard a note of Destroyer, you saw it.

In this episode, acclaimed rock historian Martin Popoff, author of Kiss ’76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the Land, breaks down the importance of KISS’s iconic Destroyer album cover and why it became such a pivotal moment in the band’s rise.

More than just artwork, the legendary painting helped cement KISS as larger-than-life superheroes and elevated their image to match the ambition of the music. We explore how the visual identity of Destroyer amplified the mythology, marketing power, and cultural impact of the band during their breakthrough year.

Because sometimes in rock & roll… the image hits before the first chord. #KISS #Destroyer
