White Zombie emerged as a pivotal force in the early 1990s alternative and heavy metal scenes, blending elements of punk, heavy metal, industrial, and groove metal with a distinct horror film aesthetic and lyrical themes. Founded in 1985 in New York City by Rob Zombie (Robert Bartleh Cummings) and Sean Yseult (Shauna Reynolds), the band was named after the 1932 horror film "White Zombie". Their music career took off with the release of "La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume 1" in 1992, a critically acclaimed album that garnered a mainstream following thanks to its infectious groove, compelling visuals, and the hit single "Thunder Kiss '65".

White Zombie's 1995 album, "Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head," saw the band reaching the apex of their popularity. Featuring the iconic track "More Human than Human", the album refined their blend of metal, industrial, and psychedelia into a chart-topping success. Despite their success, White Zombie disbanded in 1998, with Rob Zombie going on to pursue a successful solo career and delve into directing horror films. The posthumous releases, such as "It Came from N.Y.C." and "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", serve as comprehensive retrospectives, offering fans and newcomers alike a deep dive into the band’s gritty, enigmatic, and influential catalogue.
