Hide the children, pour the liqour and dig deep for a movie ticket, Rob Zombie has released a second "Halloween", in theatres now. Let us go back a few steps. In order to gain liscence to remake John Carpenter's horror masterpiece he had to first shock and rock audiences with the creation of "The Devil's Rejects" and "House of 1000 Corpses". Now we come to the inspiration of these two movies, which is directly derived from the horrific scenes depicted in Rob Zombie's milestone album, "The Sinister Urge".
The year is 2001. Mainstream pop and the pseudo-neo rock/rap fusion would have you believe that Rock is dead when from out of the gates of Hell comes Rob Zombie, letting the world know that dead is better. 11 tracks reminiscent of a whipstitched horror film on speed take you through what is best described in the lyrics as "The house built on sin". With hits like "Feel so Numb" and "Scum of the Earth", this album of undead bar anthems is sure to resurrect anyone's lust for senseless violence and gore. Needless to say, Rob Zombie is a musician that has proven he'll be rocking past the grave.
Since "The Sinister Urge", Rob has made a few solo tracks, the stand-out being the collaboration with the band Drowning Pool "Man without Fear" which was written for the Marvel box office superhero film "Daredevil" in 2003. Rob also plans to return to music with his sequel to his original solo album "Hellbilly Deluxe", but as he moves foward, no fan will ever forget the devastating force behind "The Sinister Urge": the foundation of the house that Rob built.
