Alkuperäinen Alice Cooperin bändi yhdistymässä uutta albumia varten

Yhdysvaltalainen kauhurockin legenda Alice Cooper on työstämässä parhaillaan materiaalia seuraavaa albumiaan varten. Alice on antanut albumin edistymisestä haastattelun The Weekender -nimiselle lehdelle, jossa on paljastanut työstävänsä uutta albumia yhdessä bändin alkuperäisen kokoonpanon kanssa. Mukana Alice Cooperin kanssa albumia tekemässä ovat rumpali Neil Smith, kitaristi Mike Bruce sekä basisti Dennis Dunaway. Alkuperäiseen kokoonpanoon kuuluneen kitaristin Glen Buxtonin tilalla kuullaan Ryan Roxieta. Levyn teosta Cooper puolestaan kertoi seuraavaa:

“I’ve always liked the idea that Alice Cooper has always been a Detroit rock band. We’ve always been a hard rock band, guitar rock, and I’ll never give that up. Every once in awhile, though, there’s just a flavor of what album do we want to go to here to give it that flavor. And it seems to be going toward the Killer album. And I kind of go, that album, let’s revisit the sound of that album and what we were kind of thinking. You can never go back and totally recapture it, but you can certainly look at the elements that made that album work the way it did.”

“I wrote three or four songs with Neil Smith [original drummer] and Mike Bruce [original guitarist], and so we worked together in Phoenix for about two weeks just writing songs and demoing songs. And you never know which ones are going to make the album, but I said let’s do that. Dennis Dunaway [original bassist] wrote two or three things. We haven’t seen those yet, but I know Dennis has always written great stuff.” Excited at working with his old bandmates, he cautioned this is not an attempt to simply sound young again, but that, “It’s fun to go back and work with guys you haven’t worked with in awhile. It’s not trying to recapture your youth. It’s trying to recapture a sound, and it’s a very elusive sound.”
