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.”

Listen
To the horror of satan sea Listen To the guns of superman Well I say Return to a platinum stranger Hooked on The enemy under your skin Panic Despite the heart of stone Doomsday For all the beautiful people Hey I know what I want now And it’s right in front of me And I know how to get it The good things in life are Always free Landscape of greed and hate It keeps me going Victim of what’s inside you Outside of truth Only hurts now when I laugh Live by fire Forever is a long long time War is hell Hanging man twitches in agony Death rattle shakes itself free Raise you hand to the mountain Drown in your own bloody fountain Shadows become longer the sun Burns down Don’t need to look I am found Lucky If you still remember your name Freedom Visions of a showdown Blood is Boiling in the midnight sun Sizzling Like the enemy under your skin |
