The Revenge of Alice Cooper is the upcoming eighth studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper. It will be released on July 25, 2025 by earMusic and is the group's first collaboration since 1973's Muscle of Love.[1] It is the thirtieth Alice Cooper studio album overall (including his twenty-two solo albums).
Background
In 2021, the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band reunited for Cooper's Detroit Stories album. Producer Bob Ezrin as well as Alice Cooper himself have said that a new album with the surviving members would be possible.[2]
On April 19, 2025, it was announced that Alice Cooper had reunited with former band members Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith for the first time in 51 years to release The Revenge of Alice Cooper. The upcoming album is set for release on July 25 via earMusic and will also feature guitarists Gyasi Heus and Rick Tedesco filling in for original guitarist Glen Buxton who died in 1997, although material by Buxton will also be heard on the album.[3]
Production
The album is produced by Bob Ezrin, having worked with the original group on previous albums such as Love It to Death, Killer, School’s Out, and Billion Dollar Babies as well as 11 solo albums by lead vocalist Alice Cooper including 1975's Welcome To My Nightmare.[4]
Release
The album's first single Black Mamba debuted on April 22, 2025 on Cooper's syndicated radio show Alice's Attic.[5]
The project will be released in various formats including CD digipack, double black vinyl LP, a double yellow vinyl LP and a special limited edition box set featuring CD, 7inch vinyl, art print, and T-shirt.[6]
