"Dead Girl Superstar" went out as a promo single from The Sinister Urge, Rob Zombie's second album, released on Geffen in 2001, and Zombie himself pegged it as a sequel to "Living Dead Girl" from Hellbilly Deluxe. It's industrial metal that raids the movies, lifting audio snippets from Truck Turner, the 1974 Isaac Hayes film, and it boasts something the rest of the album mostly does without: a guitar solo, courtesy of Slayer's Kerry King.
Zombie wrote the words and the music with Scott Humphrey, co-produced it with him, and sings lead over Riggs on guitar, Blasko on bass and John Tempesta on drums. Humphrey mixed it with engineer Frank Gryner, and it also turns up on the Kerrang, Vol. 3 compilation and in the game Warzone 2100.
