The Original Alice Cooper Group Reunites After More Than 50 Years
For the first time in over 50 years, the original Alice Cooper group has reunited to release a brand-new studio album, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper,” set to release on July 25 via earMUSIC.
This highly anticipated album is heralded as the successor to their iconic records “Schools Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “Love It to Death,” and “Killer.”
The first single from the album, “Black Mamba,” is out today, featuring the legendary Robby Krieger of The Doors. This track serves as a venomous introduction to the new era of Alice Cooper, packed with familiar classic riffs and electrifying energy.
“The Revenge of Alice Cooper” is a high-voltage journey into vintage horror and classic ’70s shock rock, capturing the sound, energy, and mischief that made the original Alice Cooper band legendary. In a truly special moment, the album features a posthumous appearance by Glen Buxton, the band’s original guitarist who passed away in 1997, through an unreleased recording that seamlessly blends the past with the present on “What Happened To You,” featuring his original guitar part.
If that isn’t cool enough, one of the bonus tracks (box set & limited smart format) also includes a long-lost gem from 1970 – a raw, alternate take of “Return of The Spiders” (not the version heard on Easy Action) – recently unearthed from original multi-tracks missing for 50 years and now enhanced and mixed by Bob Ezrin.
Alice, Neal, Michael, and Dennis, reunited with their producer Bob Ezrin in an old-school recording studio in Connecticut, rekindling the magic from the 70s.
This album is a celebration of friendship, nostalgia, and the timeless sound that solidified Alice Cooper as a rock icon. Fans can expect a powerful and nostalgic experience that bridges the gap between the band’s storied past and their vibrant present.
From the venomous bite of “Black Mamba” to the rebellious charge of “Wild Ones,” and the soft, haunting melodies of “See You on the Other Side,” every track feels like a rock ‘n’ roll classic.
Listen to “Black Mamba” on all digital platforms here.
The album is set to be released on July 25 via earMUSIC in a wide variety of formats and limited vinyl colours.
The release will also be available as a limited box set and as a limited art print (smart format), featuring exclusive access to two bonus tracks from the start, plus the full album automatically delivered as a high-definition download on release day.
