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.

Motionless In White Posts "Dragula" Cover Online
Motionless In White just released a cover of Rob Zombie's "Dragula" on their MySpace player just in time for Halloween. The band posted the following update about it:
"We are so excited for this Halloween weekend, is everyone ready for it?. Along with the costume's, the parties and the candy, we've added to the celebration and recorded a cover song for you all. We decided to cover Rob Zombie's song, "Dragula" and it's now up on our Myspace page.
"We chose to do Rob Zombie's Dragula because we really wanted to do a cover song as sort of a Halloween surprise for our fans and give everyone something new to listen to while we are finishing up our new record. We didn't want to cover a rap or pop song but rather really wanted to embrace the fact that we are different and do something that would be a challenge and shock people as well as having it be something that fit our style and our image perfectly. Rob Zombie in our eyes is a hero and one of the front runners of shock rock and we definitely idolize him as an artist and musician. We feel that Dragula is one of the most Badass songs that was ever written in that genre and are honored to have been able to incorporate our own "Motionless In White style" to it. We really hope everyone loves it and thank you so so much to all of our amazing fans who have been keeping us going! Happy Halloween!"
The band has a bunch of tour dates planned this fall/winter with In This Moment, In Fear and Faith, and Agraceful. Here are the latest: More...
