"Unholy" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss, written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent. Featured on their 1992 album "Revenge", the song is one of the three Vincent co-writes to appear on the album despite the fact that he had been fired from the band 8 years earlier.

The song was played live during the Revenge Tour and was included on the 1993 live album "Alive III," but did not return to the live Kiss set list until 2004's Rock The Nation Tour.

Notes

In 2008, the song was parodied on the Kiss tribute album , written and performed by rock & roll comic C.C. Banana. The parody is called "Ted Poley" and was inspired by a real life encounter between Danger Danger vocalist Ted Poley and Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, while the two bands were on tour together in 1992.
