Alice Cooper has released an audio teaser showcasing all 12 studio tracks from his new album Paranormal.

The follow-up to 2011’s Welcome 2 My Nightmare will arrive this coming Friday (July 28) via earMUSIC on 2CD, 2LP, limited edition box set and on digital formats.

The audio teaser features snippets of tracks Genuine American Girl and You And All Of Your Friends which were recorded with original Alice Cooper band members Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce.

Both songs appear on the album’s second disc which also includes live material captured in Columbus with Cooper’s current lineup.

Paranormal also includes guest appearances by U2’s Larry Mullen Jr, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Deep Purple’s Roger Glover.

Cooper is currently on tour across Europe and has dates planned across North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand and the UK throughout the remainder of the year.

Dunaway, Smith and Bruce will perform live mini-sets with Cooper during his UK dates.
