On August 25, 1998, Rob Zombie unleashed his album: Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside Spookshow International on the world.
The album was his first since deciding to embark on a solo career and debuted at no.5 on the Billboard album charts. It reached Platinum status just three months later and to date has sold over three million units in the US.
It featured guest appearances from Charlie Clouser (Saw/NINs), Danny Lohner (NINs) and Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee.
HBD produced three singles that still feature predominately in Zombie’s live sets: Dragula, Living Dead Girl and Superbeast.
Many tracks from the album featured on 1999’s American Made Music To Strip By and in 2005, a deluxe version of the album was released, featuring music videos of the tracks on the album.
Today Hellbilly Deluxe celebrates it’s 18th birthday. Let’s help celebrate by sharing your stories of the album, it’s meaning to you and your fav tracks.
