White Zombie

In 1985 Rob Zombie and Sean Yseult formed the White Zombie group, a learned mix of Rock, Punk and Heavy Metal. The band is mainly influenced by Rob Zombie's passion (originally called Rob Straker) for old horror films. He himself will take care of everything that affects the group's design: covers, T-shirts, concert posters and video clips, which he will later make. Their first E.P Gods On Voodoo Moon (limited to 300 copies) was released in 1985 on the band's label Silent Explosion. The band was composed of Rob Straker, Sean Yseult at Bass, Ena Kostabi at Guitar and Peter Landau at Battery. Still on Silent Explosion, Pig Heaven / Slaughter The Grey (2 x 500 copies) was born in 1986. Ena Kostabi and Peter Landau are replaced by Tim Jeff and Ivan DePrume. Psychohead Blowout (1000 copies) is also released on Silent Explosion in May 1987. Tim Jeff will give up his role as guitarist to Tom Guay. Their first album was released in November 1987. Soul Crusher , published on Silent Explosion with 2000 copies, then re-edited by Caroline Records (who later occupied Rock City Morgue ). In 1988, J. took the place of guitarist.

In 1990 the band signed with Geffen Records, released in 1992 La Sexorcisto : Devil Music Vol. 1 . Astro-Creep: 2000 marks White Zombie's return in 1995.

The Supersexy Swingin' Sounds remix album was released in 1996 and also became a platinum record. At the initiative of Rob Zombie (who then began the composition of his first solo album) the band separated in 1997. Rob Zombie immediately followed his solo career, which was a great success.
