The music company Gain gets involved in the book sector. A worldwide distribution deal has been signed with Music Sales Group, owner of Omnibus Press which is the leading publishing house for music related books.
Managing editor is Carl Linnaeus. He is among other things known for the acclaimed Kiss Biography Den Osminkade Sanningen. His latest book, Jag Sålde Min Själ Till Hårdrocken, is based on his most notable interviews done for Sweden Rock Magazine, where he's been one of the most prolific writers for the last ten years.
'I'm excited to work with Gain,' Carl Linnaeus says. 'The staff is dedicated and driven by a never-ending creativity. I'm sure we will create amazing things together.'
'We've been thinking about producing books for quite some time,' Markus Tagaris at Gain explains. 'The choice of Carl Linnaeus as managing editor was easy. To have him both as editor and author is a winning idea.'
The first book to be released is KISS KLASSIFIED ' WAR STORIES FROM A KISS ARMY GENERAL. It will be out in late September.
The book features 600 never-before-seen photos as well as several unpublished interviews with American rock icons Kiss. The story is centered around Mr Johan Kihlberg, who was the president of Kiss Army Sweden for ten years. He hung out in the studio with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, got drunk with Eric Carr, performed with Vinnie Vincent and was tour manager for Bruce Kulick. And he scolded Ace Frehley.
Johan Kihlberg did it all. And he lived to tell the tale.
It all started in the early eighties when he began stalking the members every time they were in Stockholm. Together with principal photographer Mats Vassfjord he continued to follow and document Kiss around the world.
This is his own incomparable Kisstory told to Sweden Rock Magazine's prominent journalist Carl Linnaeus.
'Johan Kihlberg is great. I'm a fan of creative people and anytime someone does something from the heart it's real. It's the biggest honor that somebody would even say hello to you, much less devote a lot of time to do something like this book.' - Gene Simmons, KISS.
