Rise

Product Information

With Johnny Depp among the band’s ranks and shouldering a good share of the writing on Rise, there will inevitably be those who scour his lyrics for things relating to his alleged indiscretions. Hearing him sing the words ‘All the things you don’t say / The gift of truth pushed me away / All the things you did say / Never mattered anyway’ during Who’s Laughing Now might raise the eyebrows of those who choose to read into them, but on the whole the words deal in big, sweeping sentiments.

Rise is the album that fans of both Hollywood Vampires and Alice Cooper have been waiting for since the project was first announced earlier in the 2010s. It’s almost all originals, and what sparse cover songs there are sound absolutely heartfelt and continue the tribute theme quite well. What’s more, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp‘s contributions are much more noticeable this time around. On the first album, there were so many guest appearances, that between those and Alice Cooper‘s vocals, anyone working the metaphorical spotlight would have a hell of a time remembering where to point it and when. It’s no wonder Depp and Perry were somewhat lost in the craziness happening on the album. Now, each of them has lead vocal duties at some point, and their guitars seem much more present, as do the contributions of Alice Cooper band member and unsung hero Tommy Henriksen, who does a little bit of everything on Rise.

When Rise is good, it’s a blast. However, like the boozy gang from which they take their name, there’s a tendency towards excess. Hollywood Vampires have clearly relished the opportunity to show what they’re capable of, but they may have overcompensated. They’re on to a good thing when they’re in down-and-dirty territory, continuing the tradition of celebrating fallen heroes (People Who Died), but less so when they explore their dafter side (We Gotta Rise). The solid rendition of David Bowie’s immortal “Heroes”, meanwhile, is a bold move, and one that, mercifully, works. But despite some other things on here not landing, it’s fair to say that the Vampires get their fangs into your ears more often than not.Australiancharts.com – Hollywood Vampires – Hollywood Vampires".

Speaking about the new tour, Cooper said: "Well, it's already been three years since the Vampires have toured because of COVID. Also, Johnny has his movies, Joe's in Aerosmith and I'm in Alice Cooper, so we have to look at that whole thing and see when we can all get a month or two off where we can go out and tour. And, we are going to be doing that, next summer coming up, 2023.
