Rob Zombie
Robert Cummings (born January 12, 1965 in Haverhill, Massachusetts), better known as Rob Zombie, is an American musician, film director, and writer. His gruff vocal style and fascination with horror movies has helped him become a distinctive element in American heavy metal. He is best known as the founder, lead singer and songwriter for White Zombie. In recent years, he has also established himself as a solo artist and branched into directing films. Throughout his solo career, Zombie has sold 15 million albums. Rob Zombie formed his own solo band in 1998. John Tempesta (drums) came directly from White Zombie, and was joined by Mike Riggs on guitar and Blasko (Rob Nicholson) on bass. They recorded and released Rob's debut solo album, "Hellbilly Deluxe," in 1998, produced by Scott Humphrey. The album was a great success, selling three million copies domestically. This album contained the hit singles "Dragula", "Living Dead Girl" and "Superbeast". White Zombie dissolved after the release of "Hellbilly Deluxe." Rob Zombie toured extensively to promote the debut album, releasing American Made Music to Strip By in 1999, an album of remixes from Hellbilly Deluxe. Rob Zombie next released The "Sinister Urge" in 2001, again produced by Scott Humphrey. The album has been certified platinum. "Educated Horses" was released in 2006. Rob Zombie is now on tour with Ozzy Osbourne. His first live album "Zombie Live" was recorded over several nights during the band's "Educated Horses" tour and was said to include a 36-page super-deluxe book of never-before-seen live pictures and a DVD of live footage and animated videos. After the release of the album no artbook or dvd were included with the release of the album. Blabbermouth.com confirmed that the DVD companion would be available in spring 2008.
