Rob Zombie went solo in 1998 with Hellbilly Deluxe, and the full title, 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International, tells you everything about the man's sense of proportion. Born Robert Cummings in 1965, he had already fronted White Zombie through 4 studio albums, and he took that groove-heavy industrial metal and pumped it full of horror-movie monsters, sci-fi kitsch and drive-in sleaze.
"Dragula" is the calling card, a hot-rod stomp with a riff like a revving engine, and "Living Dead Girl" slinks along like something that just clawed out of the grave. The album sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. The Sinister Urge in 2001 went platinum too, bringing "Feel So Numb", "Demon Speeding" and "Dead Girl Superstar", and Educated Horses in 2006 made the Billboard top 10 with "American Witch" and "Foxy Foxy" even as sales cooled. The Grammys nominated him for Best Metal Performance again and again, starting with "Hands of Death (Burn Baby Burn)", his duet with Alice Cooper.
His live shows are full-blown shock-rock theater, and he took the same appetite to the movies, directing horror films including The Devil's Rejects and a remake of Halloween in 2007. On record or on screen it's all one spookshow, and he's still the barker at the gate.
