To celebrate his 50 years in rock (1966-2016), Gene Simmons – media mogul, entrepreneur, co-founder and front man of KISS, and one of the most recognised performers in the world – has announced the unprecedented release of GENE SIMMONS: THE VAULT EXPERIENCE in partnership with Rhino Entertainment.

GENE SIMMONS: THE VAULT EXPERIENCE commemorates and celebrates Simmons’ notorious five-decade journey as a rock icon, offering fans from around the world a limited-edition collectible ‘VAULT’, with contents that offer a unique look into The Demon’s colourful life. This limited edition box set, the largest ever released, includes 150 never-before-released songs, photos, stories and collectible items. Additionally, every VAULT will be personally delivered to each fan by Simmons himself.

GENE SIMMONS: THE VAULT EXPERIENCE begins with a personal delivery, by Simmons himself, of a numbered, limited-edition, 17” x 25” 38-pound VAULT, during Simmons’ VAULT World Tour set to take place January 2018 through December 2018. 

Priced at USD $2,000 – each unique VAULT includes:

·       150 never-before-released tracks written and performed by Simmons, and featuring notable rock and roll artists, including members of KISS past and present

·       Packaged in a massive 12” x 12” x 6” leather-bound commemorative book containing dozens of never-before-seen images of Simmons throughout his 50-year career

·       These unreleased tracks are exclusive to THE VAULT and will not be available in other physical or digital configurations

·       Limited-edition collectibles including a Gene Simmons non-makeup action figure and an In Gene We Trust oversized medallion

·       A one-of-a-kind, hand-selected original piece of memorabilia from Gene’s personal collection

During the one-on-one meet and greets with the delivery of the VAULTs, Simmons will travel around the world, to a designated location to take photos and video with the fan and a guest, and sign autographs. In addition to the private meeting, fans will receive a VAULT Pre-Pack* and join a small group of other fans for Songs and Stories from The VAULT and a Q&A with Simmons.

Ordering by December 5 will ensure delivery of the VAULT Pre-Pack byDecember 23, just in time for holiday gift giving.

“Any artist can release a boxed set, and never really thank the fans for their support,” said Simmons. “I want to celebrate my 50th anniversary in rock WITH the fans, and I have had a blast putting something really special together for them. GENE SIMMONS: THE VAULT EXPERIENCE gives fans something truly unique that they can keep forever, and it gives me a chance to personally thank them for all of their support over the years.”
