This version never should have broken up. When Kiss were musicians instead of a nostalgic image.

It's sad how Kiss ignore this album. Not to hear one single song, live. I love every song of it. It's dark, it's heavy, it has personality. Too bad most of the fans prefer them to play only the classics...

How is this album so hated? It's a freaking masterpiece...

I could watch at least an hour documentary on the recording of this release. It's one of my very favorite KISS releases of ALL time and I've been a hard core fan since the early days as a child growing up when they first came out when I was only 8 yrs old in 1974. I think they really reached a mature peek in their career when they did this one...I also felt that with the Elder (keep in mind it was a soundtrack for a potential movie) The diversity of their playing and sound is so wide yet they keep the same flavor and signature feel with their lyrics and style. I cherish this era a lot for many reasons. Incredible production all the way around on everyone's part~!!!

That last chord and the group picture makes me sad every time I watch this about that this era ended. And it ended much too quickly. The best they have ever been regarding musicality, energy and focus. Great times, Bruce was one heck of a guitar player.

Man, Paul's voice is powerful!!

yeah this is my favorite kiss album of all time! hands down

Such an underrated but incredible album

Reunion was an incredible and great thing for many fans. That said, i'm totally agree that it is the Bruce Kulick "and" Kiss album. Bruce, a talented and humble (too much?) musician, great guitarist, a part savior of Kiss (with the Eric's) deserved to print of his hand a Kiss album and it is this one. The underrated but excellent and one of heaviest Kiss albums, the well named Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions. Reunion was already on that Bruce was still working on this album, making bass, guitars and many productions works. So yes, it would have deserved a tour before making Reunion but as said, business is not waiting... Thank you Bruce Kulick for this album, this is yours and after that, you walk alone...

Amazingly underrated album. As a KISS fan this is in my top 5, maybe even 3! Incredible.

That was one of their best and heaviest albums

The rare days of a nice, non-douchey Gene (which was probably between 1991 and 1996), he was so happy, fit and had some sense for self-reflexion and Dignity...plus he made his best songs ever during this period...I wonder what caused it...

One of the best KISS albums by far

Jesus! For quite a dark album they were really happy during recording! :3

I love how Eric Singer was playing with that little kid.He's so sweet.He seems like such a nice person.Who else agrees??

I still remember the first time I put this album in my radio, I was really not expecting the amount of heaviness that this record had but I loved every single song, I also loved that Bruce finally sang at least one song on this album, this album should've gotten more exposure than it did (or rather didn't I suppose).

Absolutely brilliant record.

AWESOME video, Bruce is a pure magician with the guitar! :-)

Paul and Gene to Bruce: "Happy birthday Bruce, this is going to be your last album with KISS after 12 years of loyal service, we appreciate that but money is more important, thank you for nothing"

one of their heaviest album and so full of raw energy in it i love it.

One of my favourite KISS Albums ever

This is just classic!!! One of top 5 kiss records ever.... Bruce really shines on this one... 10 Stars...

1:14 can we just stop for a second and appreciate this? This is amazing!

The last album before they became a nostalgia act... :(

They blew this tour away with the reunion. Great album. Imagine if the reunion didn't happen KISS would still be releasing good quality songs.

This era I was getting into Heavily, it resparked my interest in KISS again, then.......it was over, BUT Got to see them on the reunion Tour a few times, but........ theres this litlle nugget of a great album, just left all alone, almost invisible, flew right under the radar.

One of the best KISS albums ever ! What a shame it didn't get the release it deserved...

I have been a Kiss Army brother since 1979 and i couldn't agree more! The two albums with the most complexity & depth. The two best albums for sure.

I walk alone trumps all here! I love "fan" hated albums!!! Talent rules.

"Make a wish!" "I wish that they'll change their minds about the Reunion." (Later on Bruce turns on the 1996 Grammys) "Oh, great, Tupac. Good time to call Gene and Paul and see what the plan..." (KISS walks on stage) "Fuck!"

This was the last "real" Kiss album

This lp never got the recognition it deserved - awesome work guys.

This album is fucking great. It's sad that it never got the love it deserves from the band.

Thank you for posting , this was cool! I loved that album and wish they played some of the songs live.

Bruce is a true genious

One of the greatest KISS albums ever. Loved it.

I honestly feel if after revenge they followed the grudge wave for a while they would found a new sound. I know kiss is gonna be kiss and put the makeup on but I really liked carnival of souls and it was toward the end of grudge and the start of the nu metal wave. Kiss would kicked ass in the grudge scene. This album proves it. It’s so different from the regular stuff tho they don’t really acknowledge it which is sad

Esse, para mim, é um dos MELHORES discos do KISS. A engenharia de som trabalhor MUUUUITO bem!!! Acho a formação aqui (Gene, Paul, Eric e Bruce) a melhor que já houve!!! Eles são 1000000000000000000!!!!!!

Paul Stanley singing his ass off here.. 1:13

This album was really incredible. The tunes & playing were solid.

It's fun to see this ! I love this album, one of their best !

This is like Bruce's little baby and they just putted in the trash, is sad

One of the best records they've done!

To you guys who can't find it on the Kissology Vol 3: Just klick in the "Kissology" logo in the menu. Obelisk2290: No, this wasn't supposed to be the reunion album. After MTV Unplugged, they went back to do a new album with Eric and Bruce. But as you all know, the reunion DID happen, right after when Carnival of Souls was finished. Take a notice on the recording dates, between nov 1995 -jan 1996. But the album itself was released in 1997!

Carnival of Souls was a brilliant album. I was never more proud to be a Kiss fan than during the period of 1992 through 1995. That's when the band was at its height.

Real fucking singers!! In studio with put the headphones on without music it still sounds excellent !

what a great album

I love this album too, especially Paul's songs

Those harmonies are on fire! 3:15 Gotta love "Childhood's End"

oct 1997,i was blown away.aug 2010,still stands as one of my favorite kiss records.bring it back,guys.it was a step in the right direction as writers.ace and peter reunion,that was obvious.they would have love to part of that kinda KISS.peter never got the chance since hotter than hell.

I love in the studio and behind the scene's videos, they're so entertaining...

Great album! One of all my all-time favorites!

I love C.o.S. !!! Thanks for uploading !

Super album. Monster riffs galore!

One of my favorite albums all time!

How did Kiss go from COS to Sonic Doom & Monster ??? Kiss went backwards musically in my opinion.

Genial mira q he visto casi todo y este me ha alucinado mucho gracias por colgarlo kiss forever

One of their best albums. No contest.

I also love this album....its one of my all time KISS favs

One of there best albums ever....I wish this KISS had stayed together.

Awesome album..Paul in top form

I'm agreed with you, totally one of their best albums ... and also the elder is one of my favorites ...

The last great album they made. Damn I still miss Bruce

The last album Kiss did before they reunited with Ace and Peter and returned to being the band I grew up with in makeup.

Not HC fan but I also think this is one the KISS' best albums.

how cool is this footage.didnt even know there was any for this album....great stuff

The best album of kiss!

i love this album they need to play these songs in concert.

Pra mim , é um dos melhores disco do Kiss. Aqui eles haviam atingindo um patamar de maestria musical. É espetacular mas injustiçado.

To all the people who bag this album they really have to clean your ears out and have a good listen to it it is absolutely brilliant ,,so many songs on it which could have been big big hits but of course the reunion got in the way and no one really cares about this album

I just discovered this album thanks to my buddy Leroy. Technically it's the best thing since Destroyer or the Elder. Too bad things didn't take off with this album. Amazing musicianship. Bruce really shines on this. All I can say is WOW! I have Kissology 2 and 3 and can't find this footage either!

I'm not what you'd would call a kiss fan. I've never heard a kiss album (that tells you how long I've been playing music), to this day. Or even a Metal ( i would categorize this disc as Metal) disc for that matter. And I'm not putting them down either, to each his own. I heard "Jungle" one day at work with my headphones on and I thought it grooved. I bought the album and I loved it. I thought the songwriting, the guitar, and the drumming superlative and I still play Carnival Of Souls to thi

I Love Carnival of Souls 😎

I found it! It's very cool as is Ace's wedding reception from 1976 from Vol 1. I wish there were a hidden feature on Vol 2, such as Kiss' performance from the Asylum tour, in particular their cover of the Who's "Wont Get Fooled Again".

really big thanks for this:)

I dont care what anyone says, its on my top 3 Kiss albums!

carnival of souls if deffo one of my fav kiss albums ever

Great stuff, the band was rocking those days.

I agree, this was Kiss at their finest.... The Elder was brilliant too. What pisses me off is the overall mentally of the common Kiss fan... They want another Destroyer, or Rock N Roll Over, Or Creatures, but when Kiss ventures off to explore new ground like this, its not well received and rejected and dismissed as a commercial failure... So, we end up with safe bullshit like Monster, and Sonic Boom! Fuck the ball and chains of the make up and spandex and continue to explore as an artist and grow....I love this album....it's honest, and has the finger prints of Bruce all through it....totally different band then the lunch box and pinball machine selling supergroup! A+

love this album!

Brilliant album !

Bruce was the best pure musician they ever had. I miss his contributions to the band with no disrespect towards anyone else whose been there.

Love this album.

an awesome album, that deserves more play than it got!

Order of tunes: - I Will Be There - Childhood’s End - Rain - Hate - It Never Goes Away - Childhood’s End (again) - I Will Be There (again)

This lineup at the top of their game.

My fave Kiss albums: Creatures, Lick, Sonic Boom, Carnival, Animalize, The Elder. In that order. I only want HEAVY Kiss. And Bruce was great towards the end of his run - he really found his style. Awesome player.
