UK progressive/math metal band Tesseract have released a new video for ‘Eden’.

The original version of the track was featured on the band’s debut album ‘One’, but there have been changes in the Tesseract camp since the album’s release. To celebrate the arrival of new vocalist Elliot Coleman, the band have re-recorded the track and shot a video with director Ganesh Rao.

The video can be seen below.

In what could be the most bizarre move since reports a few years ago that Gene Simmons planned to launch urinal cakes emblazoned with the KISS logo, the business-minded band have announced that KISS mini golf will be launched in Las Vegas.

In a joint statement, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley stated: “”When the idea of a KISS mini golf course was presented to us, we immediately knew that everyone would want to go to a KISS-themed amusement attraction,” said Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons in a joint statement. “There is nothing like KISS mini golf anywhere… It has everything you could ask for: great KISS music, fun games, affordable entertainment in one of the greatest cities in the world and of course, KISS. A hole in one? One can only dream. Try your luck at the Kiss By Monster Mini Golf.”

Yes – not only will Vegas be home to KISS mini golf, but a whole KISS theme park!  Kiss By Monster Mini Golf is the first theme park of its kind.  It is reported that in addition to the mini golf, the park will also include a state-of-the-art amusement arcade, a KISS Gallery, the “Hotter Than Hell” Wedding Chapel, a private VIP Room, KISS-themed event rooms,  and the “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite” Cafe.

How could it get better?  The KISS miniature golf course glows in the dark!
