Fans of the rock god are already loving the new track, with one writing, 'Absolutely amazing', as another added, 'Alice Cooper - great as usual'.

Alice spoke out about the upcoming album and its influences, thinking back to 1970, "Detroit was Heavy Rock central then. You’d play the Eastown and it would be Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, the Stooges and the Who, for $4!

"The next weekend at the Grande it was MC5, Brownsville Station and Fleetwood Mac, or Savoy Brown or the Small Faces. You couldn’t be a soft-rock band or you’d get your ass kicked."
