With its combination of hard-rocking attitude, unforgettable songs and unmistakable visual identity, "Totally Twisted - The Studio Albums 1982-1987" is an essential collection for longtime TWISTED SISTER fans and a definitive introduction for a new generation of rock fans.

Formed in New Jersey in the early 1970s, TWISTED SISTER emerged as one of heavy metal's most distinctive and successful bands, combining powerful riffs, anthemic choruses, theatrical imagery and an unmistakable spirit of rebellion.

The band's best-known lineup — responsible for its first four albums — featured Jay Jay French (guitar),Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda (guitar),Dee Snider (lead vocals),Mark "The Animal" Mendoza (bass) and A.J. Pero (drums). Following the "Come Out And Play" tour, Pero departed the group and was succeeded by former GOOD RATS drummer Joey "Seven" Franco, who performed on the band's 1987 album "Love Is For Suckers".

TWISTED SISTER achieved international breakthrough success with the release of "Stay Hungry" in 1984. Certified multi-platinum in the United States, the album produced two of the era's most enduring rock anthems, "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", propelling the band to worldwide prominence.

With their uncompromising sound, iconic music videos and larger-than-life visual identity, TWISTED SISTER helped define the musical and cultural landscape of 1980s heavy metal. Their enduring catalog and singular approach to performance continue to resonate with generations of rock and metal fans around the world.

Earlier this year, former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach was chosen to front TWISTED SISTER for the latter band's fall 2026 shows after Snider resigned from TWISTED SISTER due to "health challenges".

TWISTED SISTER's current touring lineup consists of Bach on lead vocals, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda on guitar, Russell Pzütto on bass, and Joey Cassata on drums.

Pzütto, who had previously toured with Snider's solo projects, has replaced Mendoza on bass. Franco, who briefly played with the group in the mid-1980s, was supposed to sit behind the drum kit, stepping in for Pero, who passed away in 2015 at the age of 55. However, Franco is not available to play the fall 2026 shows and is being replaced by Cassata, who played drums on Ace Frehley's final original solo album, "10,000 Volts".

TWISTED SISTER canceled a previously planned 50th-anniversary tour on February 5, citing Snider's resignation.
