KISS Army Sweden – the time has come to add to your KISS Rum Kollection with the launch of KISS Hotter Than Hell in Systembolaget TODAY! www.Systembolaget.se . Aged for 14 years in ex-bourbon and Batavia arrack casks from Guyana and Jamaica, KISS Hotter Than Hell Ultra Premium Rumcarries a 45% ABV, enhancing its boldness and depth. The exquisite aging process has imbued the rum with rich, complex flavours, resulting in a spirit that is as sophisticated as it is daring – just like the legendary band itself. For the KISStory buffs, as always with Brands For Fans designs there is a treasure trove of elements taken with inspiration from the original album artwork. How many can you find?!
The Hidden Hits Playlist is an official KISS playlist curated by fans, where a dedicated fan is given the chance to select songs from the legendary KISS catalog and create their own personalized playlist. This approach of allowing fans to curate official playlists is intended to be a recurring initiative.
The first curator is Matt Porter, one of the most well-known KISS fans out there. As the founder of THE KISS ROOM—a podcast, Facebook group, and community—Matt is deeply embedded in the KISS fanbase.
Now, Matt has been given a fun challenge: to create an official fan-curated KISS playlist. His selection showcases KISS tracks that he feels deserve more recognition—songs he loves that aren’t played often enough, and ones that should have been hits.
The playlist is live on Spotify and YouTube now!
