Rob Zombie pays touching tribute to Hellbilly Deluxe artist Basil Gogos
It was with sadness that we heard of the passing of artist Basil Gogos. His classic horror art has wowed many over the years, including Rob Zombie, who commissioned Gogos to do the artwork for his first solo album, Hellbilly Deluxe.
Seems like every day I wake up to to the horrible news that another friend has died. Today I found out the great Basil Gogos had left us. This is very sad. He was the nicest guy. I can always remember his happy, raspy voice on the phone “Hey Rob. It’s Basil !”. He would always send me and Sheri a Christmas card with a special sketch inside. Usually Frankenstein.
Over the years I commissioned quite a few painting from him (Herman Munster, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman) including the main image of my career the cover of Hellbilly Deluxe. It wouldn’t have been the same without it.
He was the master. Another horror legend gone.
Rob also shared an image of the Wolfman which Basil painted as a gift. To see the image, and leave your own tribute, click >>> (more…)

Hellbilly Deluxe turns 18 – share your thoughts
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.

Hellbilly Deluxe turns 17 – share your thoughts!
Rob Zombie’s solo debut album Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International, came out 17 years ago (August 25, 1998). It debuted at number 5 in the Billboard charts, and reached Platinum status just three months later. It carried on the vein of sounds fans were familiar with from the White Zombie years, and its mix of metal and industrial sounds meant it garnered new fans as well as placated loyal fans.
Speaking to Loudwire, Zombie says; “I think people could tell I was having a good time making this music and playing around a little with this different technology and these different sounds,” he said. “As long as I’m having fun with what I’m doing then it will probably come through in the music.”
The album has sold over 3 million units and continues to be a fan favorite with tracks such as “Dragula“, “Living Dead Girl” and “Superbeast” still being played in Zombie’s live set. It also received a re-release in 2005 with new artwork, and was the basis for the successful remix album American Made Music to Strip By.

GENE COLAN
I was very sad to hear that comic legend Gene Colan has died at the age of 84. Gene was always in my opinion one of the greatest artist to ever work in comics.His art for Daredevil, Tomb Of Dracula and Howard The Duck alone is insane. Gene was a nice guy and cool enough to do art for my first album HELLBILLY DELUXE.
In the early 90’s Gene did the art for a White Zombie comic featuring both Drac and Howard, but unfortunately the book was never published for some reason. (more…)
