UNSTOPPABLE: After a 6-Year Hiatus, Alice Cooper and Hollywood Vampires Return with Electrifying New Album
After a six-year break, legendary American singer-songwriter Alice Cooper has reignited the fire of his iconic supergroup Hollywood Vampires with the release of their much-anticipated new album, In Us All. The record marks a triumphant return for the band and a reaffirmation of their commitment to the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
Formed in 2012, Hollywood Vampires is a powerhouse ensemble featuring Cooper alongside Johnny Depp and Joe Perry of Aerosmith fame. The band was originally conceived as a tribute to the “drinking club” of rock stars in 1970s Los Angeles, with the modern Vampires channeling that rebellious ethos into their music. Over the years, the group has gained a devoted following, thanks to their blend of classic rock covers and original material that honors the genre’s storied past.
Following the success of their 2019 album Rise, fans were left wondering whether the band would return with new music. Personal commitments, solo projects, and the global pandemic contributed to an extended hiatus. However, the wait is finally over. In Us All, released this week, is a bold statement from a band that refuses to fade quietly into the night.
Recorded over the past year in studios across Los Angeles and London, In Us All captures Hollywood Vampires at their most dynamic. The album features 12 tracks, blending explosive rock anthems with introspective ballads. The first single, “Electric Blood,” is already climbing the charts, its thunderous guitar riffs and Cooper’s signature snarl igniting radio airwaves.
In a recent interview, Cooper described the album as “a testament to the enduring power of rock. We wanted to remind people that the heart of this music still beats strong — it’s in all of us.” The band drew on a wide range of influences for the record, from early British Invasion sounds to modern hard rock, creating a collection that feels both timeless and fresh.
Of course, In Us All is more than just a studio effort — it signals a renewed commitment to live performance. Hollywood Vampires have announced an extensive world tour kicking off in September, with dates across North America, Europe, and Asia. The tour promises the full Vampires experience: theatrical stage production, all-star guest appearances, and a setlist packed with fan favorites and new tracks alike.
Critics are already hailing In Us All as one of the best rock releases of the year. Rolling Stone praised its “unapologetic swagger,” while NME called it “a masterclass in how to age without losing your edge.”
At 77, Alice Cooper remains a force of nature, his voice and stage presence as commanding as ever. With In Us All, he and Hollywood Vampires prove that true rock legends are, indeed, unstoppable.
