Rob Zombie

Rob Zombie, née Robert Cummings, is a veteran shock rocker, `` King of the Monsters '', born in 1966 in the States. A worthy successor to the work of the idols of his youth - Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper, Rob formed the White Zombie group in 1985, the sound of which compiled the thunderous energy of heavy metal, aggression of hard core, hammering precision of industrial and ... the `` iron '' rhythm of disco ... The Zombie lyrics were teeming with chilling stories about walking corpses, vampires, sacrificed virgins, etc., which was the result of Rob's fascination with classic horror films, anti-science fiction and in general all kinds of `` chernukha ''. The group got its name from the 1932 `` horror film '' filmed by the iconic White Lugosi and immediately gained a reputation as a Satanist. In addition to the original sound, Zombie also worked on the unique image of the group: `` branded '' T-shirts and outfits in general, cover design a la horror-comics and scenery for stage shows - everything was done by hand. However, the resounding recognition was long in coming: only after five `` independent '' releases, White Zombie's efforts were rewarded and the group signed a contract with a major label Geffen Records. Zombie's major debut was marked by the album '' La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1 '' (1992). The single `` Thunder Kiss' 65 '' won a Grammy and has sold over 2 million copies.
