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 25 via earMUSIC.
The first single from the album, “Black Mamba,” is out now, 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.
A longtime friendship is what made the Doors’ Robby Krieger an appropriate guest for the first single from the new album from the original Alice Cooper Band, reports Guitar Player.
“Every once in awhile Alice calls me to play golf and stuff and I call him,” says Krieger, who also appears on two tracks on the self-titled 2015 debut album by the all-star Hollywood Vampires that Cooper fronts. “We’re buddies from way back in the day.”
Krieger is also good friends with Bob Ezrin, Cooper’s friend since back in the 1970s when he produced the group’s first albums.
“I’ve known Bob for a long time,” the guitarist notes. “He said, ‘Hey, I think this song would be perfect for you to play on, and it really was. I got it on my email, and it was right up my alley. I enjoyed it a lot.’”
Cooper adds that Krieger was an early and instant choice to be part of “Black Mamba.”
“I was listening to it and going, ‘Robby Krieger,’ and he’s perfect on this,” he explains. “I said, ‘I want early Doors, that slinky, snaky stuff that you played,’ and he goes, ‘Okay’ and just nailed it. I couldn’t have asked for anything better than that.”

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.
