Blackin' the Void Well
I can't say for sure whether Kiss had a master plan to do everything in their power to give Psycho Circus a proper The Elder touch, only that quite a few clues could give that impression to no small degree.
And I don't know if Gene could have possibly foisted some old vocal verses on Ace, or if it was just a little Fuck You from Ace himself that he smuggled in because he wasn't exactly happy with the process of recording Psycho Circus. Whether these are just figments of my imagination or whether one of these little scenarios could possibly have taken place will probably remain a mystery forever.
After all, I only suspect this because once you notice that Mr. Blackwell and Into the Void inextricably share almost identical vocal verses, then such guesses inevitably and almost automatically arise. What makes Into the Void the fourth notch on Psycho Circus's Elder tally stick, thus Psycho Circus takes the leading position of all Kiss albums with Elder references. At least as far as I can see.
The only thing that is certain to me is that, no matter how the stars may have aligned for Kiss with Psycho Circus, it seems that all roads must have always led them to The Elder.
Kis(s)met?
And like a star in the dark night, I have illuminated your way to the verses and highlighted both links.
Into the Void (1998)
Mr. Blackwell (1981)

Karl states that such claims are ridiculous.
Charles gave no comment and simply stares with a small polite smile.
Charlie said that therapy is awesome and is one of the few willing to go.
Bradamante states that her and Ruggiero going to couples therapy would be a fun date idea.
Roland displays the same reaction to being told to go therapy as being told to not strip in the middle of a mission.

Albert Speer
These are some facts and curiosities about Albert Speer, the Fuhrer's architect:
He was born in March 19, 1905.
He spent his youth in the Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg, the luxurious family home in Heidelberg, and cultivated a wide range of interests, including skiing, mountain excursions, rugby and, above all, mathematics, a discipline towards which he had a fervent passion.
However, due to his father's opposition, Speer ultimately chose to follow in his uncle's footsteps and study to become an architect.
After studying at the University of Karlsruhe, he moved to Munich, where he studied at the Berlin Institute of Technology, under the guidance of the famous architect Heinrich Tessenow.
During his university years Speer never adhered to any specific faith or political opinion.
This substantial "apoliticality" ceased during his discipleship at Tessenow, when Albert was persuaded by some of his students to participate in a Nazi party demonstration
Speer came into contact with Hitler in 1933 through the intercession of Rudolf Hess, by whom the architect was commissioned to design the apparatus for the Nuremberg rally that year.
Despite some initial doubts, the project met with the sympathy of the Führer and, above all, of Joseph Goebbels, who asked him to renew the Ministry of Propaganda.
An immediate understanding was established between Speer and Hitler: the Führer, in fact, was looking for a young architect capable of giving life to his architectural ambitions for a new Germany and therefore immediately included Speer in his closest circles.
Upon Troost's death in 1934, Speer was chosen by Hitler to replace him as chief architect of the Party.
In 1942, after the death of Fritz Todt (which occurred in a mysterious plane crash), Hitler surprisingly appointed Speer, who had no experience in industrial production, "Minister for Armaments and War Production".
In 1945 Speer refused to carry out the "scorched earth" strategy (established by the Nero decree), which aimed to completely destroy everything in German territories that would fall into enemy hands.
He was a great friend of Karl Brandt (one of the major exponents of Aktion T4) and they acted to save each other's lives: in 1944 Brandt used his powers as General Commissioner of Medical Services and his friendships to save Speer , already ill, from the assassination attempt plotted by Himmler. In 1945 Speer saved Brandt from the death sentence for ''treason''.
Speer was arrested by Allied forces in Flensburg immediately after the end of the conflict, and tried in Nuremberg on charges of using slave labor to run the German war industry.
He was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment, to be served in Spandau prison in West Berlin.
Prison and solitary confinement provided Speer with the opportunity to write his memoirs, which made him an international celebrity and a very wealthy man.
He died on September 1, 1981, in London.
Some documents discovered after Speer's death prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that as early as 1943 Speer was aware of what really happened in Auschwitz.
