A glam-garage fever dream from the godfather of shock rock, now resurrected as a KiT album. Originally released on November 9, 1971, Killer was Alice Cooper’s fourth studio album and the one that cemented the band’s place in rock history. Produced by Bob Ezrin and packed with proto-punk energy, theatrical sleaze, and glam-laced swagger, Killer spawned the now-classic singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” while reaching #21 on the Billboard 200. The album’s grimy brilliance unfolds through tracks like the sprawling “Halo of Flies,” the controversial “Dead Babies” (a blistering anti-child abuse anthem), and the cinematic “Desperado”. With its gritty garage roots and horror-flick flair, Killer built the foundation for Alice Cooper’s reign as a spectacle-driven rock icon. Now reissued as a collectible KiT album, Killer fuses its original menace with modern immersion offering fans both a tangible artifact and a rich digital experience. Praised by critics like Lester Bangs and hailed by punk legend John Lydon as “the greatest rock album of all time,” Killer remains a blood-stained, glitter-drenched landmark in American rock.
