Alice Cooper
He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1986 7" 45rpm with color sleeve. In the 1986 track "He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)," Alice Cooper masterfully blends his iconic shock rock style with the burgeoning synth-driven sounds of the era, resulting in a song that feels both nostalgically eerie and strikingly contemporary. As part of the soundtrack for the movie "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives," the track captures the menacing aura of the film's infamous antagonist through ominous lyrics and an unsettlingly catchy melody. The use of synthesizers and electronic drum patterns marks a distinct departure from Cooper's earlier, more guitar-centric work, yet it doesn't detract from his signature theatricality. Instead, it amplifies the suspense, weaving a soundscape that's as haunting as it is hypnotic.
