Product Information

Rob Zombie – vocals, lyrics, producer, music, production, all other art, additional photos, art direction Following the success of their previous album La Sexorcisto, the album took 6 months to write and record. It was also the first and only White Zombie album to feature drummer John Tempesta who replaced Ivan DePrume. Tempesta would join Rob Zombie as he embarked on his solo career. Rob, for his part, didn’t think it was even an issue: “By that point, I seriously figured that everybody thought it was over. It seemed to me that the call was just a technicality.” Rob Zombie enlisted the help of artists Dan Brereton (creator of Nocturnals), Alex Horley (of Image Comics and DC Comics) and David Hartman (storyboard artist) to create the album artwork. [8] [9] British dark/ horror/ science fiction/ steampunk artist Sam Shearon aka 'Mister Sam Shearon' (artwork for Godhead, Ministry, Slayer, IDW Publishing, Clive Barker, and tour merchandise for Iron Maiden and HIM [10]) also contributed to the artwork of Hellbilly Deluxe 2.

When I talked to Riggs in 1999, he said he and Zombie were cousins who knew each other growing up. Zombie, however, said he didn't meet Riggs until ex- Nine Inch Nails guitarst Danny Lohner introduced the two in Arkansas. “Riggs and Danny knew each other for a long time -- I'm not exactly sure how,” Zombie recalled. “Danny was just like, 'I know the perfect guy.' He gave me Riggs' phone number and I called him out of nowhere. I trusted Danny, so that was it. Riggs came out and he was great. We didn't have a bass player yet. Riggs and I hung out and talked and I told him everything I wanted to do. He said, 'That sounds f---ing bad-ass.' That's all he kept saying. He went, 'This is exactly what I always wanted to do.' And eventually we played together.” Certifications March 5 2006". radioscope.co.nz. Archived from the original on October 1, 2006 . Retrieved September 19, 2022. Hellbilly Deluxe 2, is the first Zombie record to feature his full touring band. Speaking at the time to Rolling Stone Magazine, Rob noted; “I’ve always had a revolving roster of studio and touring musicians, but the three guys in my band now have been on tour with me for years. So we’re making it as a band. It’s called Rob Zombie, but we’re treating it like a band.” Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (PDFed.).

Versions

Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International is the debut solo studio album by American musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie. The album serves as his first release outside of the band White Zombie, with whom he released two multi-platinum studio albums. Hellbilly Deluxe was released on August 25, 1998, through Geffen Records. [7] Musically, the project portrays Zombie's love for classic horror films with heavy metal and electronic music. The album's lyrics speak of murder, chaos, and supernatural forces. The majority of Hellbilly Deluxe was recorded in California, and was produced by both Zombie and Scott Humphrey; Zombie is credited as the sole writer on all of the songs. We’re basically just naming songs at this point, but nobody raves about Rob channeling his inner God Of Thunder on “Meet The Creeper,” or the schizophrenic stabbing frenzy of “What Lurks On Channel X?,” so we’re doing it while we have the chance. To produce the album, Rob initially teamed up with Nine Inch Nails multi-instrumentalist Charlie Clouser, who helped push him towards the more electronic- and industrial-influenced sound that appeared on Hellbilly Deluxe. However, due to other obligations, Charlie had to leave the project – his work can still be heard on opening song Superbeast – and was replaced by Scott Humphrey, who’d done keyboards and programming for acts like Metallica and The Melvins. The Zombie/Humphrey relationship was the one that gave Hellbilly Deluxe its distinct sound, and led to an extended collaboration between the two musicians, with Scott co-producing all of his albums through 2007 and co-composing the score to Rob's 2003 film debut House Of 1,000 Corpses.
