Biography

White Zombie was named after a 1933 Bela Lugosi horror flick and formed in the offices of a celebrity-stalking soft-core porno magazine; considering the raucous band’s fevered, irreverent rock, grisly Fangoria magazine-style lyrics, and gorily theatrical shows, any other origin seems absurd. Formed in the mid-1980s by Rob Zombie (né Cummings) with model-turned-bassist Sean (Shauna) Ysault, the band fused elements of punk, funk, and metal for a ferocious, groove-heavy brew. By the mid-1990s, the band became an unlikely MTV-fueled hitmaker with singles like "Thunder Kiss '65" and "More Human Than Human." By the end of the decade, Rob Zombie caught the solo bug and went off to release platinum records, and not too surprisingly, create a string of cult-classic slasher films.
