For the first time in over 50 years, the original Alice Cooper band has reunited in the studio to record a new album, The Revenge of Alice Cooper. The title will arrive on July 25, 2025, via earMUSIC, in a wide variety of formats including a limited edition box set and limited vinyl colors. They’re available to pre-order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.
The album is a successor to their iconic ’70s albums Schools Out, Billion Dollar Babies, Love It to Death and Killer.
The first single from the album, “Black Mamba,” has been released, 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.
From the label’s April 24 announcement: 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. Alice, Neal Smith, Michael Bruce and Dennis Dunaway have reunited with their longtime producer, Bob Ezrin. In a truly special moment, the album features a posthumous appearance by Glen Buxton, the band’s original guitarist who died 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 Ezrin.
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 on such songs as the rebellious “Wild Ones” and the soft, haunting melodies of “See You On the Other Side.”
