Background
Since 1985 Zombie has been carving out a strange legacy of music in the world of rock, beginning in with the formation of his brainchild White Zombie. From the start, White Zombie was a bizarre hybrid of hardcore/punk aggression, Lower East Side art-damage and hard rock thunder. As if that weren’t enough, these fixations were filtered through Mr. Zombie’s love of classic horror/sci-fi films, trash hot rod culture and generally, all things on the dark side.
White Zombie was most noted for their release 'Astro Creep 2000'. The album reached #10 on billboard and stayed for two months. After this record, we started to see a little different style from Zombie. What might best be called Techno-Horror Rock. Since then Zombie has gone solo, simply renaming the band 'Rob Zombie'.
Rob Zombie is a man of many faces. He has done work on the Beavis and Butthead movie, directed all videos since going solo, wrote a script for 'The Crow 3' (which got scrapped), and is currently in the works of creating and directing his first feature film entitled 'House Of 1000 Corpses'. In short, Rob Zombie is an entertaiment genius.

“The Punisher” Featuring Danzig & Hatebreed Tracks
Today saw the release of “The Punisher: One Last Kill” on Disney+. The hyperviolent new entry in the Marvel cinematic universe brings Jon Bernthal back as Frank Castle/The Punisher, continuing the character’s storyline across his prior streaming series and MCU cameo appearances.
Spoilers ahead regarding the film’s soundtrack: the feature includes several notable metal needle drops. The opening scene is set to Danzig’s 1988 classic “Mother,” while a later, particularly brutal fight sequence features Hatebreed’s “I Will Be Heard,” the lead single from their 2002 major-label debut “Perseverance.”
Although not part of official MCU canon, the 2008 film “Punisher: War Zone” famously featured a metal-heavy soundtrack including Slayer, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, and Hatebreed’s cover of Sepultura’s “Refuse / Resist,” making this new usage a fitting nod to the franchise’s history of heavy music.

Marilyn Manson Premieres His 2nd New Single
Marilyn Manson premieres the second track of his musical comeback. The multi-platinum shock rocker is attempting to revive his career following the wave of sexual assault and misconduct allegations brought against him by over a dozen women in 2021.

In response to these accusations, Manson was dropped by his record label, management, and talent agency.
