It was far from the only controversy the band would find themselves in during the 1970s and beyond. Probably the most interesting change to the album, which was released in August 2012 as Destroyer: Resurrected was that this time around Kelly’s original cover art was used – as violent as it apparently was with Kiss in the wrong costumes. To mark the 35th anniversary of the release of Destroyer, which earned Kiss their first-ever platinum album, original tapes were remixed with some additional parts added. On that cover the members of Kiss are in different Love Gun costumes on a stage that is surrounded by adoring female fans in white face makeup. Interestingly enough, Kelly was the artist for the album after that release – one called Love Gun.
In fact, it was the Destroyer cover that cemented the image that represented Kiss until their next album was released the following year. Record execs gave the revised cover art the green light and albums were packaged with it. This one was known as the ‘blue’ cover with the rejected one referred to as the ‘brown’ cover.
So a tamer version of the cover was drawn. Kelly had drawn the musicians in the band wearing the costumes they had during their Alive! Tour which had changed considerably for Destroyer. The background of the scene was desolate with destroyed and burning buildings dotting the landscape.Ĭasablanca executives didn’t like the cover saying the rubble and flames made the scene appear “too violent” an image for the theatrical band. His album cover art depicted the four members of Kiss walking across the top of a pile of rubble.
“It blew me away,” was how Kelly described the experience.

The idea was to give Kelly full exposure to what the band was like during an electrifying performance. He had been invited to a Kiss concert and given a backstage pass. The cover art was the work of fantasy artist Ken Kelly. It also had another error that caused it to be pulled before a single copy of the album hit store shelves. It was titled ‘Destroyer’ and their record label, Casablanca, rejected the first version of the cover art due to the violent nature of the image.
