DISCOGRAPHY

Released on March 12, 2021, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy, is the seventh solo studio album from Rob Zombie. This is the first new album from Zombie since the release of 2016’s The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser.

Boasting a total of 17 tracks, Lunar Injection is a classic Rob Zombie album. Included are the single releases The Eternal Struggles Of The Howling Man, The Triumph Of King Freak (A Crypt Of Preservation and Superstition) and Crow Killer Blues, which came out on the same day as the album’s release.

Rob Zombie again joined with long-time collaborator, the producer Zeuss and as well as Zombie’s band which has been together in it’s current format for over a decade, there were additional inputs from keyboardist Keys Mahoney and drummer Josh Freese, who music fans will recognize as the drummer for Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle and many others.

Like many other bands, Rob Zombie delayed the record’s release in 2020 due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, but speaking to Consequences Of Sound about the decision to release in 2021 Rob said: “after just being stuck for so long with this pandemic that seems like it’s never going to end, I was like, “Let’s put this out.” People are stuck at home, they’re listening to music. It’s frustrating. I don’t want to sit on this thing for freaking five years. So that’s why we decided to put it out.”

Astro-Creep: 2000 Live [2018]

Astro-Creep: 2000 was the final studio album by White Zombie and is performed front-to-back here by Rob Zombie for the first time ever at the Riot Fest in September 2016.

Featuring “Electric Head, Pt. 2 (The Ecstasy),” “More Human Than Human,” and “Super-Charger Heaven,” this was White Zombie’s most successful album and a fan favorite.

Udiscovermusic wrote: “Ultimately, unlike most live albums, Astro Creep: 2000 Live does that rarest of things: it actually captures not just a great band with great songs, but a great moment in time and an actual event in the world of heavy music.

It’s incredibly doubtful that anyone will forget about what happened at Riot Fest in 2016; its place in the mythology of heavy music is most definitely assured.

But it’s hearing that day, that band, on that form; that setlist, from an artist stepping away from what is usually expected of him and giving the people something genuinely memorable, that makes Astro Creep: 2000 Live such a brilliantly dizzy treat for fans.”

The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser [2015]

Released on April 29, 2016,The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser is the sixth solo studio album by Rob Zombie. It is also the shortest, clocking in at just over 30 minutes.

Upon release, the album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200; selling 40,000 copies in its first week. It also became Zombie’s sixth consecutive top-ten album. In total The Electric Warlock spent three weeks in the Top 200.

Describing the album prior to release Zombie said: “This album is the best thing we’ve done to date, and we can’t wait to share it with you. No, we mean it. It’s the most fucked up thing we’ve ever done. We spent so much time putting this monster together and it’s been worth it because this thing is about to explode!”

Six videos were created for the album, including Well, Everybody’s Fucking in A UFO which features Zombie’s wife Sheri Moon Zombie and actor Jeff Daniel Phillips, who is a regular in Zombie’s movies, including 31 and The Lords of Salem.

Other guest appearances in the music videos include Doylein The Hideous Exhibitions of a Dedicated Gore Whore, and Daniel Roebuck as Satan in The Life and Times of a Teenage Rock God.

Spookshow International Live [2015]

“Spookshow International Live” is the second live album from Rob Zombie, following up from 2007’s Zombie Live.

The album was recorded in 2013 as the band promoted Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor. It features photos from Rob Fenn.

As well as fan favorites “Dragula” and “Living Dead Girl”, Zombie included the bands cover of The Ramones “Blitzkrieg Bop”.

When announcing the album on his official Facebook page, Zombie said “It’s been 8 years since our last live album so we figured it was time for another. Actually we weren’t planning on it, but we recorded a few shows and they sounded really great so we thought “fuck it” let’s get it out there.”

He also confirmed that the album had been recorded “100% live. No overdubs – no fixes.”

One video was released for the album; Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga.

From the maniacal, twisted mind of Rob Zombie comes his first ever concert film complete with hair-raising theatrics, animatronic robots, oversized LED screens, a spectacular light and video show, pyrotechnics, insane guitar riffs and vicious beats.

Directed by Rob Zombie, The Zombie Horror Picture Show captures the elaborate, multi-media production conceived by the horror film and hard rock master mind that was unleashed to audiences during his 2013 tour.

Filmed in Texas, the concert explodes with a blistering set of sixteen Zombie staples including “Dragula,” “Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown,” “Superbeast” and “Living Dead Girl.”

Speaking at the time of release to Billboard, Zombie explained how he finally caved to making a live DVD: “It would always come up. Our manager would always say, ‘You’ve really got to make a DVD. You’re the only fucking band that doesn’t have a DVD out there!’ and I’d be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t feel like it.’ … This lineup had been together for however many years. I thought, ‘OK, the band sounds great now. The band looks great. The shows are huge. The stage show’s huge. Everything’s as good as it’s ever been — now is the time to do it.’ ”

Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor [2013]

“Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor” marks the fifth solo studio release from Rob Zombie. The album is the first to feature drummer Ginger Fish – formerly of Marilyn Manson – who joined the band, replacing Joey Jordison.

Zombie released the album on his new record label Zodiac Swan Records, in conjunction with T-Boy Records and Universal Music. In it’s first week Venomous Rat debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200 Charts.

Venomous Rat was produced by Bob Marlene, a long-term friend of guitarist John 5 who had worked previously with artists including Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and Lynryd Skynryd. Also working on the album in their first collaboration was programmer Zuess, who has continued to work with Zombie on other music projects.

Speaking to Artist Direct prior to the albums release Zombie explained he considered a film in the future based on the album. “I think it could. I made it with that in mind. At least in my mind — no one else knows this — I wanted to have a storyline that runs through the record so if someday I wanted to make it into a movie musical like The Who’s ‘Tommy’ or ‘Quadrophenia’, there was a structure to follow. I’m not really talking about what it is because I think it’s sort of relevant at this point.”

Mondo Sex Head [2012]

Mondo Sex Headis the first remix album to be released by Rob Zombie since 1999’s American Made Music To Strip By.

The album features not only tracks from Zombie’s solo career but from his time with White Zombie also.

Remix contributions included from Korn’s Jonathan Davis, under the moniker JDevil, Griffin Boice, who collaborated with Rob Zombie guitarist John 5on The Lords of Salem score and Deftones’ Chino Moreno and Far’s Shaun Lopez under their ††† (Crosses) band name .

Two covers for the album were released. The original cover features Sheri Moon Zombie posing nude, but after Zombie received complaints, a tamer version was released featuring a cats face.

Speaking to Rolling Stone Magazineat the time Rob said of the controversey; “I thought it fit the vibe of the record perfectly and had an old-school, Ohio Players vibe. I never thought it would be a problem since it seemed tame to me . . . but it was. No one would carry the CD. Anything with death and violence is totally fine, but anything with sex, forget about it. So instead of censoring that cover and ruining it, I just removed the ass shot and replaced it with a pussy shot.”

Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool [2010]

“Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool” is the follow-up to Rob Zombie’s debut solo album Hellbilly Deluxe, released in 1998.

The album is the first to feature bassist Piggy D, who had replaced Blasko after the recording of Educated Horses. The album came out after Zombie released Halloween 2. Singles from the album included What? and Sick Bubblegum.

Hellbilly Deluxe 2, is the first Zombie record to feature his full touring band. Speaking at the time to Rolling Stone Magazine, Rob noted; “I’ve always had a revolving roster of studio and touring musicians, but the three guys in my band now have been on tour with me for years. So we’re making it as a band. It’s called Rob Zombie, but we’re treating it like a band.”

The album on it’s first release, debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 charts, and spent 12 weeks on the chart.

Whilst still promoting and touring the album, drummer Tommy Clufetos left the band to join Ozzy Osbourne. He was replaced by Slipknot’s Joey Jordison in 2010 who took over live drumming. Jordison also joined Zombie, John 5 and Piggy D in the studio to record three new tracks for a reissued version of the album which was released in September 2010. The reissue included a 30-minute documentary titled “Transylvanian Transmissions” which included footage following the band on tour.

It was recorded in 2006 while the band toured the Educated Horses album. Zombie Live featured recordings from several shows on that tour.

He played on the second half of the Educated Horses tour.

Zombie Live debuted at number 57 on the Billboard 200 charts.

In 2009, the track The Lords of Salem was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Hard Rock Performance.

Two versions of the album were released, a digipack version, which had no linear notes nor accompanying DVD and a classic jewel case which came with a DVD featuring three videos, including two versions of American Witch, one directed by Zombie and the other directed and animated by David Hartman and Foxy Foxy from Educated Horses.

Educated Horses [2006]

Educated Horses is the third solo album from Rob Zombie. Released 5 years after The Sinister Urge, it came out after Zombie had spent time cultivating his career as a film director. Previous to the release of this album Zombie had expressed that he may not have been returning to music but it was playing with guitarist John 5, who had now joined the band, that Zombie was inclined to put together another album.

As well as bringing in John 5, Zombie also introduced drummer Tommy Clufetos. However, on the recording of the album, some drum parts were again put together by Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee. Educated Horses would be the last to feature bassist Blasko.

Released on March 28, 2006, Educated Horses hit the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart at number one. It also debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200 charts.

Four videos were made and released for the album. These included the Rob Zombie directed Foxy Foxy, and American Witch as well as animated contributions by David Hartman for The Lords of Salem, and American Witch.

The Sinister Urge [2001]

Although only one single was released – Demon Speeding– tracks from the album would appear on soundtracks for Mission: Impossible 2 and as promotional releases.

Two official videos were created, including for the track Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy), which saw the band recreate A Clockwork Orange.

Zombie was able to call on several friends to appear on the album, including again Tommy Lee on drums and Slayer’s Kerry King on guitar. The biggest scoop was securing vocals from Ozzy Osbourne for the track Iron Head. Speaking at the time in an interview with KNAC.com, Zombie said: “I thought that somehow the song didn’t seem special enough. Somehow I thought that the song wasn’t as good as it should be and I had been talking to Ozzy a lot and working on stuff for the tour and someone was like, ‘Why don’t you just get Ozzy to fucking do it?’ It was like, duh. Sometimes you don’t think of the obvious ideas.”

American Made Music To Strip By [1999]

“American Made Music To Strip By” is the first remix album released in Rob Zombie’s solo career.

It features remixes taken solely from his debut solo effort Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International. It was released via Geffen Records.

Zombie teamed up with a series of artists including Charlie Clouser, Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails and German Industrial metal band Rammstein.

Only one music video was made for the remix album – Living Dead Girl (Subliminal Seduction Mix) – which saw the band revisit a similar setting to the video of the original track but this time the band were dressed as mummies.

Artwork for the album includes an image of Rob Zombie’s then girlfriend Sheri Kitty Moon (becoming Sheri Moon Zombie when the couple wed years later) on the front cover, naked except for a cowboy hat and heels.

The album went on to achieve Gold Record status in Canada for selling over 40,000 copies.

“Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs Of Love, Destruction and other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head” is the fourth and final studio album from White Zombie.

Following the success of their previous album La Sexorcisto, the album took 6 months to write and record. It was also the first and only White Zombie album to feature drummer John Tempesta who replaced Ivan DePrume. Tempesta would join Rob Zombie as he embarked on his solo career.

Heavier and more industrial than La Sexorcisto, the album saw influences from writer Philip K. Dick, with the track More Human Than Human referencing the motto of the Tyrell Company in the movie Blade Runner (based on Dick’s short story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)

Speaking about the album, Zombie said at the time: “I was never that happy with it [La Sexorcisto]. In some respects, it was probably the best thing we could do at the time under the circumstances; and that this record was exactly what we wanted it to sound like.”

Astro-Creep: 2000 is White Zombie’s best-selling album, selling over 2,600,000 copies in the US and certified Double Platinum by the RIAA.

La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 [1992]

“La Sexorcisto” is the third studio album from White Zombie, and is arguably the record that propelled the band into the wider public consciousness commercially and artistically.

This was the first album to be released on Geffen Records with whom the band signed after releasing previous White Zombie albums with Caroline Records and on their own label Silent Explosion.

The band were joined by Jay “J” Noel Yuenger on guitar who replaced John Ricci. Ricci had previously appeared on the White Zombie album “Make Them Die Slowly”. “La Sexorcisto” would be the last to feature drummer Ivan De Prume.

The album gave the band it’s first entry onto the Billboard chart, with a peak position of 26. In total “La Sexorcisto” was on the Billboard 200 charts for 44 weeks.

The single Thunderkiss 65, saw the band nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

“La Sexorcisto” eventually earned them double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the US.

Make Them Die Slowly [1989]

“Make Them Die Slowly” is the second studio album from White Zombie and was released by Caroline Records who reissued their first studio album “Soul Crusher“.

The album introduced new guitarist John Ricci who replaced Tom “Five” Guay. It was his only appearance on a White Zombie album as he left the band after being diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome.

For the first time, Rob Zombie drops the Rob Straker moniker.

The album again utilizes the movie samples that would become signature to White Zombie and Rob Zombie’s releases. The album opens with a line from Night Of The Living Dead: “the killers are eating the flesh of the people they murdered“.

Speaking about the album at the time, and the change from a “noise band” to what people perceived more as a “metal band” Rob said; “I don’t know if you’d really call it ‘metal’ but there’s a lot more focus to it. The songs are more like….songs…. And now I get to say ‘let’s rock!’ a lot too. That’s important.”

Psycho-Head Blowout [1987]

Psycho-Head Blowout marks the third EP release from White Zombie.

The EP came out on their independent label Silent Explosion in 1987, initially on vinyl and limited to one thousand pressings.

In 2008, the EP was reissued on CD as part of the Let Sleeping Corpses Lie anthology album and in 2016 on vinyl as part of It Came From N.Y.C., with White Zombie/Rob Zombie guitarist Jay Youngerremastering the audio.

For Psycho-Head Blowout, a new guitarist joined the band – Tom “Five” Guay– so called because it sounded like he was playing 5 guitars at once.

The EP was seen as instrumental in solidifying White Zombie’s journey from the underground and cultivating the sound that was synonymous with the bands future releases.

It was also noted at the time that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobainwas a fan, and praised Tom Guay for his playing style; “fucked-up, bending strings, borderline in-tune–that type of chaos“.

Soul Crusher [1987]

Soul Crusher marked the first full length album from White Zombie following three EP releases prior.

It initially came out on vinyl via their independent label Silent Explosion in 1987 but was later re-released by Caroline Records in 1988 whom the band signed with that same year.

There are in total 4000 pressings of the vinyl album (2000 independently and via Caroline). It was not until the issuing of anthology album Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, that Soul Crusher came out on CD.

The album helped create a definitive part of the White Zombie/ Rob Zombie sound as movie and television dialogue was added to the recordings.

Soul Crusher gained the attention of Iggy Pop who listed the album in the 1988 “Readers and Critics Poll” for Rolling Stone”as well as being cited by Kurt Cobain as one of his biggest influences.

Personnel on the album remained the same as Psycho-Head Blowout, with Rob Zombie again credited on linear notes as Rob Straker.

Pig Heaven [1986]

Pig Heaven/Slaughter The Greyis the second EP from White Zombie.

Released in 1986, the EP featured just two tracks, although various other songs were also recorded, including “Scarecrow #2 (a remake of “Tales From The Scarecrow Man”, “Rain Insane”, “Paradise Fireball”, and “Red River Flow”.

Two covers were created for the EP, and both pressings were limited to 500 copies each.

Pig Heaven was released again on White Zombie’s own independent label Silent Explosion.

However Sean Yseult “hand-photocopied 300 copies at the Parsons campus print shop in 1985.”

The EP featured White Zombiefounding members Rob Zombie– at the time credited on the album as Rob Straker – and Sean Yseult. Paul “Ena” Kostabi featured on guitar and Peter Landau on drums – but it was their only appearance on a White Zombie release.

Gods on Voodoo Moon enjoyed a re-release in 2016 when Numero Group compiled it, with White Zombie EP’s, as part of the It Came From NYCretrospective box set.

According to Numero Group the album was “recorded in two hours as the cheapest studio in the phone book“.
