Zombie first rose to fame as a founding member of the heavy metal band White Zombie. Hellbilly Deluxe is Zombie's most successful album to date. "Dragula" is often referred to as Zombie's signature song, and remains his highest selling single worldwide. All three of the songs were used extensively in the media, appearing in various films and video games. The album's third and final single was " Superbeast", which failed to emulate the commercial performance of the album's first two singles. " Living Dead Girl" was released as the album's second single, and achieved a similar amount of success as its predecessor. The song was a hit in the United States, and appeared on the singles chart in the United Kingdom.
The album was preceded by the release of Zombie's debut single, " Dragula". Since its release, the album has garnered the title of a "shock rock classic" by numerous publications. The project appeared on multiple charts worldwide, though failed to duplicate the success it had in North America. Hellbilly Deluxe outsold all of Zombie's releases with his former band, and established him as a successful solo artist. The album proved to be a commercial success, reaching the top five of the Billboard 200 and selling over three million copies in the United States. Hellbilly Deluxe was released to a generally positive critical reception, with the album's production being praised. 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. The album's lyrics speak of murder, chaos, and supernatural forces. Musically, the project portrays Zombie's love for classic horror films with heavy metal and electronic music. Hellbilly Deluxe was released on Augthrough Geffen Records. The album serves as his first release outside of the band White Zombie, with whom he released two multi-platinum studio albums. Yeah, that’s right.Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International is the debut solo studio album by American musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie. I mean, just take a look at the track listing below for Hellbilly Deluxe 3.Īt press time, the album name was being ditched in favor of it being simply titled, “Yeah.” Rob Zombie also vowed that he’ll never produce an album titled Hellbilly Deluxe 3, a promise he actually intends to keep. It seems Zombie isn’t going to be changing his ways anytime soon and instead might be looking to make some kind of world record for the most “yeah” repetitions contained in a single song, perhaps even a whole album. He then seemed to drop the phone and let it dangle on its cord, since we could hear the receiver smacking against a wall every few seconds until the noise stopped altogether, after which the rock star belted out a sustained “yeah” with some backing heavy guitar solo before the connection cut. It’s a total mind-fuck and I really don’t give a shit what anybody thinks about it. “I’ve got it in the chorus, the backing vocals, and even fuck with some sounds to make you believe the word is being said even when it isn’t. “Yeah, this track is a beast,” continued Zombie. He then went on to describe one track containing the word over 200 times in the span of just three and a half minutes. Besides, I was fucking drunk as shit and enjoying a night out after wrapping up a lengthy tour and the completion of 3 from Hell.” Our conversation was then briefly interrupted after a sound mixer asked him a quick question, to which he responded, “Yeah.” “Yeah, I should have never made that promise. He then proceeded to discuss his new album with us and indicated how difficult it has been to omit the word “yeah” from his lyrics. “Yeah,” answered Zombie after his wife passed him the phone. Well, it’s about damn time this man has stopped raiding our ears with this constant affirmative response in just about every song he’s produced… Or has this terror only just begun? Rock-musician-turned-filmmaker Rob Zombie has a new album on the way, titled Hellbilly Deluxe 3, and he’s promised loyal fans that his new record will be avoiding the use of the word “yeah” in any of the songs' lyrics.
