The fact that Rob Zombie was born into a carnival family should come as no surprise to his fans. His fascination with horror movies, fantasy comics, black metal and punk have helped to shape him into the heavy-metal-singing film director we know today.
His first foray into the music world was with White Zombie, a band he founded in 1985. Together they created their own brand of noise rock, driving fantasy metal which paid more than a nod in the direction of Alice Cooper. After two double platinum-selling albums the group disbanded in 1998 after Rob began his solo career with the Hellbilly Deluxe album.
Hellbilly was a triple platinum success and Zombie toured extensively to promote it. In 1999 he released an album of remixes of Hellbilly called American Made Music to Strip By.
His next studio release was in 2001: The Sinister Urge continued in the same successful vein and was finally awarded platinum status.
Rob Zombie's next project was film, and he released two horror flicks which gathered a cult following, House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects in 2003 and 2005. However, by 2006 he had returned to music and released Educated Horses which marked a slight move from the horror theme, but not so far as to alienate his many fans.
He continues his film work and has released further films, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto and Halloween, a remake of the 1978 classic.
