The groups resultant album, Ace, was never officially released. Snider then founded the early 90s group Widowmaker, which released two albums: Blood and Bullets and Standby For Pain. The group experienced moderate success. In the late 1990s, Snider formed a "self-tribute band" he called Dee Snider's SMGs,

He also appeared in the heavy-metal documentaries KISS Loves You (2004) and Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005).
During this time, Snider also began experimenting in other media. In June of 1999, the rocker started a new project as a morning show radio host on WMRQ in Hartford, Connecticut. Dee Snider Radio aired for three years before its cancellation. It returned to the air as a night show in 2004 on WMMR in Philadelphia. He often featured high-profile guests, including his friend Gene Simmons. Then in 2005, Snider became the host of the nationally syndicated House of Hair radio show. Snider returned to radio in June 2006 with Fangoria Radio on Sirius Satellite Radio.
