Alice Cooper is back with a vengeance! The iconic rock musician, known for hits like «I’m Eighteen,» «School’s Out,» and «No More Mr. Nice Guy,» has announced his latest album, The Revenge of Alice Cooper, set to release on July 25. This album marks Alice Cooper’s return after more than 50 years, prompting fans to wonder, «Wait a minute, hasn’t Alice Cooper been recording, touring, and acting all this time?»
While Alice Cooper, the man, has had a prolific career releasing albums like Welcome to My Nightmare, Constrictor, Trash, and 2023 Path, the original Alice Cooper band disbanded in the early 70s. Now, Cooper has reunited with guitarist Michael Bruce, drummer Neal Smith, and bass player Dennis Dunaway for The Revenge of Alice Cooper. The album also features a special posthumous appearance by the original guitarist Glen Buxton, who passed away in 1997.
The Alice Cooper group, which emerged from a band called The Spiders in Phoenix, Arizona, only existed for a few years but left a lasting impact. Despite going their separate ways, the band has come together again for this new album, bringing a sense of nostalgia and excitement to fans.
