LISTEN: Alice Cooper unleashes new single ‘Paranoiac Personality’
Planet Rock’s very own Alice Cooper has unleashed his first taster of his 27th studio album ‘Paranormal’.
Titled ‘Paranoiac Personality’, it’s a classic slab of rock and roll brilliance from the shock rock extraordinaire and, as the title suggests, it’s packed with potent claustrophobic lyrics.
It was unveiled on Paul Anthony’s breakfast show yesterday (8th June) and Alice gave it a spin on Nights With Alice Cooper last night too.

The follow-up to 2011's 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare', ‘Paranormal’ will be released on Friday 28th July on earMUSIC on 2CD Digipak, 2LP, Limited Box Set and Digital formats.
The album sees Alice reunite with Alice Cooper band guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neal Smith and it features very special guest spots from Deep Purple's Roger Glover, U2's Larry Mullen Jr. and ZZ Top’s bearded maestro Billy Gibbons.
‘Paranormal’ was recorded in Nashville with long-time collaborator Bob Ezrin and features a very special bonus CD – a mini-album consisting of brand new songs written and recorded together with Dennis, Neal and Michael alongside carefully selected live recordings.
Alice says: “‘Paranormal’ is like 12 great episodes of The Twilight Zone. Each song tells its own twisted little tale.”
The track-listing is as follows:
- Paranormal
- Dead Flies
- Fireball
- Paranoiac Personality
- Fallen In Love
- Dynamite Road
- Private Public Breakdown
- Holy Water
- Rats
- The Sound Of A
