Alice Cooper has downed tools on the sequel to his 1975 classic ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’.
The new album will be called ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’.
Cooper reunited with the original album’s producer Bob Ezrin for this record. Ezron was also the producer of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’.
‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ will be the 25th studio album from Cooper. It was the first album he had made without his original group featuring Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith.
On his radio show last week, Cooper said, “I’m very happy with working with Bob (Ezrin) again. It’s ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ and it's the next nightmare. Thirty years later, he (Steven) has another nightmare and this one is even worse than the last. I haven’t worked with Bob in a long time. After the 35th anniversary of ‘Nightmare’ I said, “Why don’t we start writing something else? And he said, ‘Why don’t we just do part two?’ We’d never done part two so I went ‘That’s a great idea. Let’s get me and you together, I think I can still get Steven Hunter and Dick Wagner. We’ll put some of the original people on it and add some new people”.
The original Alice Cooper band also plays on some of the tracks.
‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ is expected mid-year.
