Alice Cooper Band Releases New Song “Black Mamba” as 13th Floor Single
Experience the thunderous return of the original Alice Cooper band after more than five decades with their upcoming studio album, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper,” scheduled for release on July 25 through earMUSIC. Setting the stage for this epic comeback is the release of the first single, “Black Mamba,” featuring the iconic Robby Krieger of The Doors. This track ignites the start of a new era for Alice Cooper, blending classic riffs with a burst of electrifying energy that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
The album, deemed as the successor to their legendary records like “School’s Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “Love It to Death,” and “Killer,” promises to reignite the vintage horror and classic ’70s shock rock that made the original Alice Cooper band an unforgettable force in the music industry. Embracing a nostalgic vibe while injecting a modern twist, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper” also pays tribute to the late Glen Buxton, the band’s original guitarist, with a posthumous appearance on the track “What Happened To You,” seamlessly blending past and present through an unreleased recording of his original guitar part.
Adding to the excitement, fans can expect a hidden gem in the album’s box set and limited smart format – an alternate take of “Return of The Spiders” from 1970, freshly discovered and enhanced after being untouched for half a century. The reunion of Alice, Neal, Michael, and Dennis with renowned producer Bob Ezrin in a traditional recording studio in Connecticut has allowed them to revive the magic of the ’70s and rediscover the camaraderie that made them legends in the first place.
With a lineup of tracks ranging from the fierce intensity of “Black Mamba” to the rebellious spirit of “Wild Ones” and the haunting beauty of “See You on the Other Side,” each song promises a timeless rock ‘n’ roll experience that bridges the gap between the band’s illustrious history and their vibrant present. The album is a testament to the enduring friendship, nostalgia, and unparalleled sound that solidified Alice Cooper as a rock icon through the ages.
Set to be released in multiple formats and limited vinyl colors on July 25, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper” will be available as a standard edition, box set, and limited art print in smart format. The album will be a collector’s item, with exclusive bonus tracks included in the box set, such as “Return Of The Spiders 2025” and “Titanic Overunderture.” Fans can secure their pre-orders for this highly anticipated album to embark on a musical journey that celebrates the legacy and brilliance of the original Alice Cooper group.
