Re-release of the seventeenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
In the mid-'80s, Alice Cooper was able to crawl out of obscurity and rebuild his cult following. Though 1986's "Constrictor" and the supporting Nightmare Returns tour hardly commanded mainstream attention, the album and tour were his most successful in years, proving Cooper still had enough life to launch a full-fledged comeback. Not even a year after the release of "Constrictor", Cooper released "Raise Your Fist And Yell", which is more of a return to his dark thematic role than its predecessor.
The album continues the slasher film trend created by Cooper’s previous album "Constrictor". It's features the track “Prince of Darkness”, which is featured very briefly in the John Carpenter film of the same name, in which Cooper has a cameo as a murderous vagrant. The song can be heard on the Walkman of one of his victims. The track “Lock Me Up” features a guest appearance from Robert Englund, who portrayed Freddy Krueger in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series.
"Raise Your Fist And Yell" is the only Alice Cooper album to feature Ken K. Mary on drums and the second and last to feature Kip Winger on bass.
With "Raise Your Fist And Yell", Cooper embraced his past while still managing to sound fun and exciting. Overall, it still seems surprising that 1989's "Trash" completely deserted Cooper's menacing, villainous role. After all, "Raise Your Fist And Yell", though far from a highlight, showed Cooper was still able to provide both Rock anthems and theatrical experiments - and do it rather well, for that matter!
