Rob Zombie
Rob Zombie, known for his distinctive blend of horror aesthetics and industrial metal, first rose to prominence as the frontman of White Zombie before embarking on a successful solo career. His debut album, Hellbilly Deluxe (1998), was a massive success, featuring hits like "Dragula" and "Living Dead Girl," which became anthems in the alternative and metal scenes. Zombie's music incorporates a heavy, groove-laden sound with eerie samples from classic horror films, creating a signature style that is both cinematic and high-energy.
Beyond music, Zombie has made a name for himself as a filmmaker, directing cult horror films such as House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. His visual and thematic style—rooted in grindhouse horror, B-movies, and macabre storytelling—extends across both his music and films, solidifying him as a creative force in multiple artistic fields. Despite shifting between music and film, his influence in industrial and alternative metal remains immense.
