It’s as if Rob Zombie’s trying to be something else, but still coming up totally Zombie. Influenced by ‘60s garage rock, the vocals are run through a maximal amount of mid-range distortion and accented by tambourine clinks and organ riffs behind the usual crunch, but where bands like the Horrors make raw revival work for them, “What” is too calculated and processed to actually sound raw. Sheri Moon Zombie sounds like an artist who should be on Roadrunner pitching himself to The End Records.He's maintained the bells and whistles that made WHITE ZOMBIE.

This could be because it was his first outing to include help from his bandmates (longtime touring comrades guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D, and drummer Tommy C), but it’s probably more attributable to the fact that making this type of song is old hat by now. Rob Zombie will release his fourth solo studio album, 'Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool', on November 10.'Hellbilly Deluxe' was the name. ![]() Returning with his first album since 2006’s Educated Horses after several delays following the record’s completion in 2008 - due to his work on Halloween 2, time spent shopping for a new label after 18 years of recording for Geffen, and, perhaps, a lack of public interest - Zombie has since gone on to say that the songs on Hellbilly Deluxe 2 were his easiest to write.
