The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy [2021]
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.”

Apocalypse prepare as you approach the edge Prometheus into the flesh you carve the pledge Deceivers eternal howling of your needs Paradise the serpent laughing as it bleedsDarkness judgement shall beginHeretic topped with a skeletal grinBlood lust theifs and reptiles risePunishment damned under blackened eyesBurn down your institutionThis is a Gonzo revolution
Well, I am the crow killer Lurking in the trees Well, I am the crow killer I’ll slit you to your knees White witch broken from heather ways Vice grip grasping til your final day Celebrate creatures dying in the weeds Dead world charging on the devil’s steed Burn down your institution This is a Gonzo revolution Well, I am the crow killer Lurking in the trees Well, I am the crow killer I’ll slit you to your knees |
