Alice Cooper band released their first album in 52 years

After a half—century break, on July 25, The Revenge of Alice Cooper was released, a reunion album by the rock band Alice Cooper. This is Alice Cooper's first band, with which he once achieved worldwide fame before starting a solo career.

The album has only three significant differences from the classic Alice Cooper records. Instead of guitarist Glen Buxton's minimalistic solos, the parts of Cooper's current solo members Gyasi Hoys and Rick Tedesco can now be heard. Their style is closer to traditional heavy metal, with characteristic speed and technique.

Cooper's voice itself has changed: if in the 1970s it was shrill and sonorous, now it has become lower, rougher, narrowed due to the age of the artist.

The degree of shock in the texts has been greatly reduced compared to the 1970s. Cooper, who grew up in a Mormon sect that broke away from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, returned to religion about 10 years ago — and significantly tempered his appetite for outrage.

The Revenge of Alice Cooper opens with the dark composition Black Mamba, featuring the guitar of Robby Krieger from The Doors.
