In a new interview with Meltdown of Detroit's WRIF radio station,
Ace Frehley has confirmed that he has commenced work on "Origins
Vol. 3", the sequel to Ace's
2016
and
2020
collections of cover songs that inspired the former KISS guitarist.
"I'm working on 'Origins Vol. 3', 'cause that's the next record I'm
putting out next year in 2025," he said. "So, we're starting to gear
up for that and figuring out which songs [to include on the LP]. I
have a long extensive list and we're slowly whittling it down to
which ones we're gonna track."
Frehley went on to say that he is once again working with TRIXTER's
Steve Brown, who produced and co-wrote all the material on Ace's
latest solo album, "10,000
Volts",
which was released in February via MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne
Music).
"'Origins Vol. 3' will probably be out before the end of 2025," Ace
revealed. "I usually put out a record every year, year and a half,
two years now. I have two more albums on my record deal with MNRK
Music. And everything's great."

Complete Sessions", and
the guitar solo is taken from the album "Warrior
II", while outro
solo's are taken from the "Treasure"
