Early White Zombie Track "Scarecrow #2" Comes Online

posted May 11, 2016 at 12:39 PM by xFiruath.  (10 Comments)

Numero Group's upcoming "White Zombie: It Came From N.Y.C." CD / vinyl boxset, the quintessential resurrection of White Zombie's eternally out-of-print early EPs and LPs, becomes available to the masses in less than four weeks.

In anticipation of the release, White Zombie bassist Sean Yseult sat down with the Wall Street Journal to reflect on the old days of the band and share some unheard music.

Check out this newly-unearthed track recorded in 1986, entitled "Scarecrow #2," in the player below. As stated by Wall Street Journal's Michael Calia, "'Scarecrow #2" rips along with a thundering, droning groove and wailing vocals, but its improvisational spirit distinguishes it from later, more slickly produced White Zombie tracks."

What's Next?

It would be cool if J, Ivan and Sean could get together with a different singer and see what magic happens.
Not likely, but cool nonetheless.

Sean and Ivan were a TIGHT rhythm section.

To me, White Zombie was Rob Zombie. I don't think a reunion with him will ever happen though as Rob has no desire to be part of a reunion.

I agree that White Zombie can't exist without Rob. Still I wish the other three could get together with a different singer and see if any magic happens. Maybe Rob's brother from Powerman5000 could handle the vocal duties. They can call it anything they want to - call it White Powerman 5000 for all I care. lol
