The Revenge Of Alice Cooper is the 30th 'Alice Cooper' studio album and is due for release in July 2025. After numerous rumours, hints and all-out jumping the gun, it was finally confirmed that the surviving members of the Alice Cooper Group were reuniting for their first complete album (i.e. (14-tracks, plus two bonus ones) since 1973's Muscle Of Love!

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 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 wasn’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 have reunited with their producer Bob Ezrin in a 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.

Taking the place of Glen Buxton for the majority of the album is guitarist Gyasi Hues, with additional appearances by Dennis Dunaway Project's Rick Tedesco and Robby Krieger of The Doors.

The album features striking artwork with Alice joined by Mike, Dennis and Neal, who are depicted as members of a vintage carnival freakshow. After all these years it's great to see each member honoured with near equal prominence (something which didn't always happen in the past).

Six physical versions of the album have been announced so far:

1. CD Digipak;

2. 'Ultimate Collector’s Edition' (numbered and limited to 5,000 copies) Box Set featuring:

> CD Digipak with the full album;
> Exclusive 7-inch vinyl featuring two bonus tracks;
> High-quality art print; and
> Exclusive Alice Cooper Shirt X-Large.

3. Black heavyweight double LP;

4. Violet marble heavyweight double LP (earMUSIC exclusive in Europe);

5. Yellow heavyweight double LP (Amazon exclusive in the UK); and

6. Fan Edition 'Smart Poster' (limited to 500 copies).  

In the USA, TalkShop.Live are offering the above violet marble version with an additional insert autographed by the Alice Cooper Group.

The first track from the album, Black Mamba, was premiered on 23rd April 2025 and received generally wide-spread acclaim. Dedicated to one of the most venomous snakes in the world, it features a haunting bass intro by Dennis before an ultra-menacing Alice (who plays the part of the snake) begins to toy with a potential victim while they lay in their bed. An infectious 'Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya' chorus is present, which is based on a New Orleans voodoo chant, brilliantly conveys the cocky, belligerent, nature of our slithery fiend. As with some of Alice's other recent work, he resorts to a spoken role throughout parts of the track. This has drawn criticism from some, but for me, it again works really well due to the sheer creepiness of his voice. Standing in for Glen Buxton on this track is Robby Krieger of The Doors. A lyric video was also produced, which can be seen here.

As eluded to above, the album features two bonus tracks, Return Of The Spiders 2025 and Titanic Overunderture. The first is a previously unheard, remastered and remixed version (by Bob Ezrin) of Return Of The Spiders, which originally appeared on the Easy Action album and features Glen Buxton on guitar. It's a great track and has a more up-beat, almost School's Out, vibe to it. Titanic Overunderture is a very welcome inclusion and features the iconic opening track from Pretties For You complete with the addition of haunting vocals by Alice. According to Dennis Dunaway, these vocals are from the original 1969 recording sessions of Pretties For You (he is unsure why they were not included on the album originally).

The Revenge of Alice Cooper Smart Poster

2025

The first physical version of The Revenge Of Alice Cooper was, technically, this innovative 42 x 30cm 'Smart Poster', which was released in May (more than two months ahead of the official release date) and offered fans the opportunity to listen to (but not download) tracks via Serenade as-and-when they became available digitally elsewhere. This meant that Black Mamba could be heard upon arrival and, more importantly, the two bonus tracks Return Of The Spiders 2025 and Titanic Overunderture.

Costing £19.99, and limited to just 500 copies worldwide, it was a must-have item for all Alice Cooper Group fans.
