Along Came a Spider

A high-concept hard rock thriller following a meticulous serial killer. Gritty riffs meet cinematic storytelling with a dark, theatrical edge.

Alice Cooper plays a serial killer in a rock opera that actually rocks.

A dark, cinematic thriller that balances aggressive hard rock with a cold, calculated sense of dread.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition from the spoken prologue into the industrial-tinged churn of I Know Where You Live.

Slash's guest solo on Vengeance Is Mine providing a bluesy, searing contrast to the track's dark momentum.

The chilling final callback to the Steven character during the closing epilogue's whispered narration.
