For the follow-up to 1973's Muscle of Love, the band reunited with studio wizard Bob Ezrin, who produced their '70s records Love It Death, Killer, School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies.
Speaking to Billboard about the project, shock rock icon Alice, 77, said: "It was very much like this was our next album after Muscle of Love. just like, ‘OK, this is the next album.'
"Isn’t that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place.”
He is joined by original guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neil Smith, and Nashville guitarist Gyasi Hues.
Late guitarist Glen Buxton – who died in 1997 – posthumously features on the track What Happened to You and a remix of Return Of The Spiders, on the deluxe copy.
The band recently released song Wild Ones, Inspired by the 1953 film The Wild One starring Marlon Brando.
Bob - who has also worked with the likes of Aerosmith, Kiss, Pink Floyd, and Deep Purple - revealed it was just like the old days being in the studio with the gang.
He said: "None of them has changed much as a person.
"Obviously everyone’s older and more mature and more settled, but when we all get together and I watch the interplay between them, it’s like they just walked out of high school and were hanging out in the local cafe. They just revert to type. They revert to who they were as kids when they first got together… and make music together like they did 50-some years ago."
In 2021, the surviving members of the band reunited for Alice's solo LP 'Detroit Stories', also produced by Bob.
Although it's the first full-length studio record from the group, The Alice Cooper Band released the live LP Live From The Astroturf on Record Store Day in 2018.
