Alien is the fourth album by Canadian heavy metal band Strapping Young Lad. It was released on March 22, 2005.
Strapping Young Lad recorded a cover of Tom Jones' "What's New Pussycat?" that was scheduled to appear on Alien, but it was not really recorded entirely because "it did not fit the flow" of the album. It is not expected to be released anytime, even though blabbermouth.net has reported so.[1]
Alien was originally intended to be released as an EP, with 4 cover songs and 4 new songs.[2] Alien reached number 32 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and number 35 on the Top Independent Albums chart.
