It's been suggested that the new album will be entitled 'Paranormal'

In a recent Australian interview, the question is asked:

"You mentioned new music before and it’s been a long while since new music from you, what can we expect?"

and the answer given is:

"Well I’ve got a new album coming out in July and it’s called ‘Paranormal’ and it’s Bob Ezrin and I, Bob is producing. Larry Mullen is playing drums on it from U2, that’s a whole different thing, Billy Gibbons plays on one of the songs, from ZZ Top, and then it’s really all stuff that Bob and I just decided we’re going to do an album of stuff that we like.

So it goes all over the place but it’s still a guitar rock album, we decided no story-line in this one, the songs all have a story but there’s no connecting sort of string that connects the songs all together. So that’s why we called it ‘Paranormal’ it’s sort of other than normal for us.

You know I’m at a point now when I’m making albums now I’m making albums for my audience, for the Alice Cooper fans, I don’t think in this generation the way the music business is you’re really not making albums to break a new audience.

I think it’s great if you do get people that discover you and do become Alice fans, but it’s a whole different thing than it was in the seventies.

In the seventies you’d make an album and people would go out and buy it and they would become your fans, now I think it’s so scattered and splintered that Alice is gonna be Alice, KISS is gonna be KISS we’ve all established ourselves with a certain sound and certain look and we’re really not looking, I know it’s great that people are coming along but we’re not sitting there saying we’ve gotta break the twenty year olds into Alice Cooper.

If they discover us, great, but I listen to the radio now and I kinda don’t get it, it’s very introspective and it’s kinda all over the place. There’s a couple of great bands but it’s not like it was in the seventies where almost every band was unique."
