Ace Frehley has confirmed that he is working on his next covers album, “Origins Vol. 3,” with producer Alex Salzman. Notably, Salzman also produced the other two volumes.

Frehley said the following during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk“:

“I decided to reconnect with my old producer Alex Salzman. So, it won’t be me and Steve Brown. It’ll be me and Alex Salzman collaborating on that record since Alex did ‘Origins Vo. 1’ and ‘Vol. 2’ and we have a formula that we came up with and it seemed to work.

I was listening to the [first two ‘Origins’] records last night on YouTube in my office on my desk. I have a set of Bose speakers, and the albums sound just as good as the new album, ‘10,000 Volts’. So, I’m gonna go back to my old formula with Alex. And maybe I’ll bring back Steve to do the [next all-original] album since he’s a very, very good songwriter and guitar player and engineer as well.”

He continued when asked which songs it’ll feature:

“I haven’t decided. I have a list of about 50 songs, so… I really don’t wanna give anything away. It’s too soon.”

He also added the following when asked about the possibility of a 2025 release:

“I could have it ready [this year]. I can do the album in a month because I don’t have to write the songs. That’s the beauty of the ‘Origins’ series. I don’t write. So, the recording process is pretty seamless and rapid because all I have to do is Ace-ify it. [Laughs]”
