Rise

Product Information

Raucous rock anthems like “ The Boogieman Surprise ” and “ Who’s Laughing Now” (the first single from the new album), capture the natural, raw, celebratory attitude of Hollywood Vampires displayed in their rowdy shows around the world.

But the album shows off their range as well with tracks like “ We Gotta Rise” - a tongue-in-cheek politics song in the the tradition of Alice’s “Elected” - to the psychedelic gothic epic of “ Mr. I'm not sure it's important to name names; they were obviously men of varied talents and a collective oneness that came together under the umbrella of safety in numbers along with a fondness for channeling the ghosts of hedonists past. There are however, in the spirit of the Vampires’ original mission, three covers of songs originally written and recorded by some fellow rockers who died far too young: an intimate and intense version of David Bowie’s “ Heroes”, beautifully performed by Johnny Depp; the late Jim Carroll Band’s “ People Who Died,” and Johnny Thunder’s “ You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory ,” sung by Joe Perry.Upon arrival today to the venue in Slovakia to begin set up for tonight’s performance, it quickly became clear that the construction of the facility was incomplete, and therefore unsafe for both the band and the general public.

Rock and roll royalty Joe Perry, Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp and shock rock icon Alice Cooper join forces once again for the unmissable rock album of 2019.

Unlike the first album this one only has three covers, with the rest being original songs, said to be mainly written by Johnny Depp with the other Vampires chipping. Johnny Depp has been pushed much more into the forefront than the previous album, and it turns out he has quite a great singing voice.
