Rob Zombie – “Hellbilly Deluxe 2”

The master of horror-infused industrial metal is back and better than ever. As a long time fan of Rob Zombie, I feel this newest release, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, is one of his best CDs to date. By combining his trademark groove and swagger with a bit more technicality, Zombie serves up a huge helping of groove laced terror.

The master of horror-infused industrial metal is back and better than ever. As a long time fan of Rob Zombie, I feel this newest release, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, is one of his best CDs to date. By combining his trademark groove and swagger with a bit more technicality, Zombie serves up a huge helping of groove laced terror.

Zombie has pretty much been a staple of the industrial metal genre for years now and time and time again, he has proven that he can crank out solid releases; Hellbilly Deluxe 2 is no exception. Zombie brings the heaviness he is known for while still maintaining his signature infectious groove.

I am hard pressed to find a song on here that I do not like but I am particularly fond of “Burn” and “Werewolf Women Of The SS.” I feel that both of these songs are classic Zombie tunes that will please fans new and old alike.

One tune that stuck out to me and I feel is worth mentioning is “The Man Who Laughs.” It is the last track on the disc and midway through it breaks into an extended drum solo, (for lack of a better term), that I found interesting and ultimately, quite cool.

There really is nothing bad to say about Hellbilly Deluxe 2. The CD insert alone is worth the price of admission; there are pages of killer comic book type illustrations and paintings adorning the booklet. While I feel this disc does not stray too much from the classic Zombie we have all come to recognize it is still a very solid release. Fans of the band and/or industrial metal will be more than pleased with this disc.  [ END ]
