ALICE COOPER Brutal Planet RSD Release LP Colour Vinyl (2000)
By 1999, Alice Cooper had already outlasted every trend that tried to bury him. Glam, grunge, nu-metal, none of it touched him. Brutal Planet arrived as a concept record about a post-apocalyptic hellscape, which, if you know Alice, is basically just a Tuesday.
This is the darker, meaner Alice, the one who toured haunted houses before haunted houses were a lifestyle brand. Brutal Planet leans industrial and heavy, nodding toward the nu-metal moment without ever losing that theatrical Grand Guignol DNA he'd been working since the early 70s. This Record Store Day colour vinyl reissue from 2000 is the kind of thing that sits between your Marilyn Manson records and your vintage KISS pressings and makes everyone who flips through your collection stop and say something.
Format: Colour vinyl LP. Released 2000 as an RSD release. Country of origin: USA. Genre: Alternative/Hard Rock, industrial edge.
