In 2005, Zombie assaulted the film world with the critically-acclaimed The Devil's Rejects (Lionsgate), the follow-up to his already cult classic House Of 1,000 Corpses (Lionsgate 2004).  ...

Rob Zombie Biography :
Rob Zombie was born as Robert Cummings in Haverhill, Massachusetts on January 12, 1965. He was the former lead singer for the rock/metal group White Zombie, and later became a successful solo artist, disbanding the group after his first solo album sold more in the first week than any of the band’s albums ever did. He released that album, Hellbilly Deluxe, in 1998. Remixes of some of its tracks were released on 1999’s American Made Music To Strip By, followed up by the studio release called The Sinister Urge in 2001.

In 2003 he made his directorial debut with the release of the film ‘House of 1000 Corpses’ to a lukewarm reception, though it garnered quite a cult-following. Its sequel, ‘The Devil’s Rejects,’ was released in 2005. It was received much better than the first film, even getting the ‘thumbs up’ from well-known film critic Roger Ebert.

In March 2006, he released his newest album, entitled “Educated Horses”. The album was a more stripped down, raw rock record, and quite a departure from the techno-industrial feel of the old Zombie albums. While this change, along with Zombie’s change of appearance (he lost the dreadlocks and went back to his natural hair color, blonde), upset many of his fans, it allowed Rob to experiment with his style without deviating from his core fan base.

The new album also featured two new band members. John 5, of Marilyn Manson fame, and Tommy Clufetos, the former drummer for Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper, replaced Mike Riggs and John Tempesta, who had left the band in 2003 to work on other projects.    ...Source...

More About Rob Zombie
As industrial music merged with metal and dance in the late '80s and early '90s, two problems kept it from mass popularity: It took itself far too seriously, and it lacked a front man, a figure with the charisma and vision to serve as its scowling, tattooed public face. Enter Rob Zombie, who with his group White Zombie showed that he'd never heard a Ministry riff he couldn't make groovier, never saw a low-budget horror movie he couldn't produce a big-budget video homage to, and could never be accused of taking himself too seriously.

After finding his musical epiphany with White Zombie's "More Human Than Human," an irresistible chunk of metal-industrial bubblegum that became a huge hit in 1995, Zombie disbanded the group and went solo for Hellbilly Deluxe. Further developing the stylistic elements of White Zombie at their peak -- thunderclap guitars, lyrics like Marvel comics strips on acid, beats that merge the terror of Ministry and KMFDM with the bouncier side of techno -- he bends the music's extremes into a carnival sideshow of pure, loud pop. "Dragula" is The Munsters meets "Dead Man's Curve" -- an ode to a monster roadster that races through every fun monster-movie cliche before pulling over for some good old-fashioned backseat sex: "Dig through the ditches/And burn through the witches/And slam in the back of my Dragula!" Not since Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper had there been a metal god so lovable.

American Music is an insignificant remix disc, and The Sinister Urge stays the course but with fewer killers. The keeper is Past, Present & Future, whose 19 songs from Zombie's solo and group career prove his pop mastery. Every song is a zinger, and the bonus DVD of music videos -- most directed by Zombie -- puts his vision into its proper multimedia context. It's a circus, and Zombie is happy to serve as the ringmaster or -- in the case of "Living Dead Girl," his lovingly thorough rock homage to the classic 1919 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari -- the mad scientist who does it all just to see a twinkle in his audience's eyes.
