The Revenge of Alice Cooper is the eighth studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper. It was released on July 25, 2025, by earMusic and is the group's first full collaboration since 1973's Muscle of Love.[10]
The surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band reunited for some songs on Cooper's albums, Welcome 2 My Nightmare (2011), Paranormal (2017) and Detroit Stories (2021). Producer Bob Ezrin and Alice Cooper said that a new album with the surviving members would be possible.[11]
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 album was released on July 25 via earMusic and also features guitarists Gyasi Heus and Rick Tedesco filling in for original guitarist Glen Buxton who died in 1997, although some unreleased guitar recordings by Buxton are heard on the album on the songs "Black Mamba", "What Happened to You", and "Return of the Spiders 2025".[12]

The album is produced by Bob Ezrin, who 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.[13]
