Alice Cooper and earMUSIC are celebrating the chart success of “Paranormal.” The album was produced by longtime Cooper collaborator Bob Ezrin for earMUSIC, the rock label part of the Edel AG group, which markets and distributes the album worldwide through its international network. “Paranormal” features guests such as Larry Mullen (U2, who plays on nine of the 12 new songs), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Deep Purple’s Roger Glover, as well as a highly anticipated mini-reunion of the original Alice Cooper band members.
