Alice Cooper has announced his 22nd solo studio album, 'Road', and has returned to his roots on the raucous lead single, 'I'm Alice'.
The legendary shock rocker, 75, is back with his first new music since his 2021 LP 'Detroit Stories', for which he has reunited with longtime rock producer Bob Ezrin.
He's backed on the record by his revered band - comprising Ryan Roxie [guitar], Chuck Garric [bass], Tommy Henrikson [guitar], Glen Sobel [drums], and Nita Strauss [guitar].
A press release notes that: "'Road' channels the spirit of old school Alice with instantly recognisable grit and plenty of gusto."
The 'School's Out' hitmaker commented: “For Road, I wanted the band to be involved in the foundation of all the songs.
“I only see these guys when we’re on the road. So, I wanted them to be as tight as they are for the show but on all new material. When you have a band this good, I believe in showing it off, and this is my way of doing so.”
On 'I'm Alice', which is out now, the 'Feed My Frankenstein' rocker - who dons his signature goth clown eyeliner look in the music video - declares himself: "The Master of Madness; the Sultan of Surprise...so don’t be afraid, just look into my eyes.”
The new LP will be released on August 25 and is accompanied by a bonus DVD/Blu-ray of Alice's full live show at Hellfest 2022.
Alice is also currently touring with The Hollywood Vampires, his supergroup with Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Johnny Depp and Tommy from his own touring band.
