Returning to the Geffen label with a harder, more metallic edge than his previous effort, 'Raise Your Fist and Yell' found Alice Cooper embracing the sound of 1980s hard rock and channeling it into his signature brand of macabre theatrics. The album features a more aggressive and direct approach compared to some of his earlier, more experimental work.
- The album was produced by Michael Wagner, known for his work with Metallica and Megadeth.
- Songwriting contributions came from Kane Roberts, Kip Winger and Donnie Down.
- Alice Cooper's 1987 tour in support of the album was noted for its elaborate stage production and controversial elements.
Alice Cooper is the stage persona of Vincent Furnier, a pioneering figure in shock rock and heavy metal, known for his theatrical stage shows and macabre lyrical themes. Though the original Alice Cooper band had disbanded years prior, this 1987 album saw Furnier reclaiming the name for a solo career resurgence in the era of mainstream hard rock and glam metal.
