The legendary Alice Cooper is releasing a brand-new album titled “The Revenge of Alice Cooper,” and it’s a momentous occasion as it reunites him with the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band: guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith. This marks their first full studio album together in over 50 years! But why are we at Born & Bred writing about it? 

Adding a fresh and electrifying energy to this reunion is the incredibly talented Gyasi, a Nashville-based musician originally hailing from West Virginia. Gyasi is the lead guitarist on “The Revenge of Alice Cooper,” stepping into the shoes of the late, great Glen Buxton. His dynamic and proficient guitar work is sure to inject a vibrant spirit into the classic Alice Cooper sound.

From Gyasi’s Instagram: “The telephone is ringing! Well, looks like the cats out of the bag. Thrilled to announce that I was asked to honor the role of the late Glen Buxton and be the lead guitarist on this record with this group of wonderful guys: It’s the first Alice Cooper record with the original lineup since 1973. It’s called ‘The Revenge of Alice Cooper’ and you can listen to the first single ‘Black Mamba’ now, which also features the legendary Robby Krieger (of the Doors) on guitar Can’t wait for you to hear the rest. It’s true to form old school Alice Cooper and it rules.”

The first single from this highly anticipated album, “Black Mamba,” has already been released and is generating buzz. The track even features a special guest appearance by the legendary Robby Krieger of The Doors, adding another layer of rock history to the project. “The Revenge of Alice Cooper” is scheduled for release on July 25, 2025, and promises a potent blend of vintage horror and classic 70s shock rock that defined the original band’s iconic era.

This collaboration between the original Alice Cooper band members and the contemporary talent of Gyasi is a thrilling prospect for fans old and new. It’s fantastic to see this legendary group return with new music, and the inclusion of Gyasi on lead guitar is a testament to his exceptional abilities.
