White Zombie Albums for song lyrics and biography.

White Zombie was a metal band named after the film White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi. Founded by Rob Zombie (Rob Cummings) and Sean Yseult (Shauna Reynolds), with Tom Guay with guitar and Ivan de Prume on drums. John Ricci later replaced Tom Guay only to quit in 1989. Jay Noel Yuenger then replaced Ricci. During the La Sexorcisto tour Ivan de Prume was fired and replaced by Phil Beurstatte who was then replaced by John Tempesta, who had previously played for Exodus and Testament. White Zombie was known for combining heavy-metal music with driving lead guitar riffs, as on "Super-Charger Heaven", overlayed with lyrics heavily influenced by horror films, with sometimes non-sensical imagery. Unlike other metal bands of the 1990s, White Zombie was exclusively a "fantasy" band, one that wrote songs not about real life, but simply about surreal horror fantasies, backed by whimsical live tours.

The band cut a number of semi-independent recordings in New York in the 1980s, these included the albums Soul Crusher and Make Them Die Slowly, as well as the EPs Gods on Voodoo Moon, Psycho-Head Blowout and God of Thunder. The band released a 45, Slaughter the Grey, in 1986. White Zombie's first major-label album, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1, was released in 1992, followed in 1995 by Astro Creep: 2000. In 1996, an album of remixes was released under the title Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. The band officially disbanded in 1998.

While Rob Zombie has mostly kept the image of his former band, fans of both have noted significant musical differences between the two, notably the absence of the heavy bass and lead guitar playing that characterised White Zombie's musical style. John Tempseta continued his musical relationship with Rob Zombie after the White Zombie breakup, drumming for Zombie on his first two solo albums Hellbilly Deluxe and The Sinister Urge. Currently he plays for the Rob Zombie-esque band Scum of the Earth with his brother, Powerman 5000 guitarist Mike Tempesta, and ex-Rob Zombie guitarist Riggs. Sean Yseult, after the breakup of White Zombie, co-founded the surf rock band The Famous Monsters, and is currently playing for the horror themed New Orleans based band Rock City Morgue. Jay Yuenger did some producing and lent his guitar skills to a few other bands after the breakup of the band, but has done nothing really big in the public eye.
