Brutal Planet is the first song from the album of the same name by heavy metal singer Alice Cooper. [1]
It is noted for the contrast between Cooper's harsh delivery and the softer tone of female vocalist Natalie Delaney, who features on the chorus. The lesser-known song "Sister Sara", from Cooper's following record Dragontown , uses a similar template.
A "Promotional Sampler" of it with 2 other tracks was released to radio stations prior to the album release - the song was never commercially released as a single. During live performances, it is typically the first song played after the Spend The Night intro.
The song was written by Cooper and Bob Marlette.
