In the pantheon of rock legends, few names evoke as much spectacle, controversy, and surprise as Alice Cooper. Known for pioneering shock rock with decapitated dolls, guillotines, and gallons of fake blood, Cooper built a career on terrifying the establishment. But what if the most shocking twist in his story wasn’t on stage—but in church?
From the Abyss to the Altar
Born Vincent Furnier, Alice Cooper was more than a character. He was an exorcism of the suburban American dream — a glam-slasher priest of theatrical rebellion. But behind the corpse paint and python-slinging persona was a man spiraling into alcoholism, fame-fueled chaos, and spiritual emptiness.
Then came the plot twist no one saw coming: Alice Cooper found God. Not as a publicity stunt. Not to sell records. But because, as he puts it, “the devil was trying to destroy me.” Instead of being consumed by the persona he created, he decided to reclaim his soul.
Revenge, But Make It Spiritual
In a world where celebrities often descend into scandals and self-destruction, Cooper flipped the script. His “revenge” wasn’t on the industry, or his critics, or even the demons he flirted with on stage. It was on the darkness that nearly took him.
Today, he’s a devout Christian, a Sunday regular, and even leads a men’s Bible study. Yes — the godfather of gore-rock leads a Bible study. That’s the most punk rock thing he’s ever done.
The Final Twist
What’s most subversive about Alice Cooper today? It’s not the eyeliner or the electric chair stage props — it’s his unapologetic faith. In an age that often treats belief like a punchline, Cooper treats it as the ultimate rebellion.
He didn’t ditch the persona — he refined it. Still touring, still menacing with riffs and drama, but now with a message: you can play with fire and still walk back into the light.
This isn’t a comeback story. This is the revenge of Alice Cooper — a tale of survival, reinvention, and perhaps the wildest act of all: redemption.
The Original Alice Cooper Group Reunites After More Than 50 Years
With Brand-New Studio Album “The Revenge Of Alice Cooper” Set For Release On July 25
First Single And Music Video “Black Mamba” Out Now
Featuring Robby Krieger Of The Doors!
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.
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 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.
“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 an 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.
The original Alice Cooper group – Alice Cooper (vocals), Michael Bruce (guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass), Neal Smith (drums), and Glen Buxton (guitar) – redefined rock in the early 1970s, blending raw, hard-hitting music with shocking theatricality. With Bob Ezrin at the helm, they pioneered shock rock, delivering rebellious anthems, dark storytelling, and over-the-top stage shows featuring guillotines, snakes, and macabre theatrics.
Albums like Love It to Death (1971), Killer (1971), School’s Out (1972), and Billion Dollar Babies (1973) turned them into superstars, producing legendary hits like “I’m Eighteen,” “Elected,” “School’s Out” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy”
. Their mix of hard rock, glam, and horror made them one of the most influential and controversial bands of their era, leaving a permanent mark on rock history.
Alice Cooper has sold countless millions of records worldwide and shaped rock history forever. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, their music remains as powerful and relevant as ever.
Now, with The Revenge of Alice Cooper, the original band reunites for one more epic chapter, reclaiming the sound and legacy that made them legends.
