Marilyn Manson Bassist Piggy D. announced on Halloween that he has contributed some art, video, and bass on Peter Criss’ new rock album, which is scheduled for a December release.

The 11-track album is set to drop December 19, 2025, and also includes John 5, Paul Shaffer, and Billy Sheehan. It was co-produced by Barry Pointer, who has worked with a number of musical artists, including Ozzy Osborne, Motley Crue, and John 5.
"Peter Criss" represents Catman's return to form, and his most rock driven solo album ever …” according to Criss' Bandcamp page.
Piggy D., whose real name is Matt Montgomery and is also known as Count D., said in the Halloween Instagram post, “I was very honored to have contributed some art, video, and bass on a fun rock and roll track you'll hear later. Have a great holiday everyone…THE CATMAN IS BACK!”
The album is available to pre-order in different formats on Bandcamp - 12” black, silver, or white vinyl records with matching sleeve colors; black, silver, or white CDs, or a digital album.
According to the Bandcamp page, the digital download and CDs include the bonus track, “Hard Rock Knockers.” The vinyl editions will include a download card for the bonus track.

“Kiss, one of the most successful Gold Record Award–winning groups in American history, has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. Rising from New York’s rock scene to the pinnacle of rock royalty, they’ve earned countless awards, including induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Formed in 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley, the group became global icons with hits like ‘Rock and Roll All Nite,’ ‘Beth,’ and ‘Detroit Rock City,’” according to a Kennedy Center press release.
