Original Alice Cooper Group Reunites With New Studio Album, First Single Out Now

 

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 25th via earMUSIC. 

This 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. It features guitarist Robby Krieger of The Doors, and serves as a venomous introduction to the new era of Alice Cooper, packed with familiar classic riffs and electrifying energy. Check it out below.

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.

Additionally, 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.

The original Alice Cooper group - Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass), Neal Smith (drums), and Glen Buxton (guitar) - redefined rock in the early 1970s, blending raw, hard-hitting music with shocking theatricality. With Bob Ezrin at the helm, they pioneered shock rock, delivering rebellious anthems, dark storytelling, and over-the-top stage shows featuring guillotines, snakes, and macabre theatrics.

Albums like Love It to Death (1971), Killer (1971), School’s Out (1972), and Billion Dollar Babies (1973) turned them into superstars, producing legendary hits like “I’m Eighteen,” “Elected,” “School’s Out,” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy”. Their mix of hard rock, glam, and horror made them one of the most influential and controversial bands of their era, leaving a permanent mark on rock history.

With The Revenge Of Alice Cooper, the original band reunites for one more epic chapter, reclaiming the sound and legacy that made them legends.
