On January 12, 1965 a god was born unto this earth. His name was Robert Cummings. He lived a normal childhood, went to college where he was in the audio/visual club, because of his love for classic horror films. In the early 80's he started a band called White Zombie. Little did he know that they, after a few line-up changes, would be the most popular heavy metal bands on earth. The band got their first taste of real sucess when they released their 1992 album, La Sexorcisto Devil's Music Vol. 1, on Geffen Records. Their first hit off that album was Thunderkiss '65. Another hit that became popular from that album was Black Sunshine (me personally, I haven't heard a Zombie song that I didn't love.) Then, in March of 1995, White Zombie released what would be their greatest and last album, Astro-Creep 2000: Songs of Love, Destruction, and other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric-Head. Virtually every song on this album was a hit. The bands popularity exploded when More Human Than Human hit the air-waves. After about 1 and 1/2 years White Zombie released the remixs for Astro-Creep and shortly there after, broke up.
On August 25, 1998, Rob exploded back onto the music scene. This time as a solo artist. His album, Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International, was also an instant sucess. People immediatly took to the hit single Dragula. Then other songs started hitting the air waves such as Living Dead Girl and Superbeast. His line-up hadn't completly changed though, John Tempesta returned with the un-dead god of rock.
It's 2001 now and Rob is currently releasing a movie that he wrote and directed called House of 1000 Corpses, and is working on a second solo album who's title has yet to be released. |
