NEW LP
New sealed copy. 2025 limited edition reissue on glow in the dark vinyl.
Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside the Spookshow International is the debut solo album by Rob Zombie, released on August 25, 1998, through Geffen Records. Following the breakup of White Zombie, it marked his first project as a solo artist and established the gothic horror aesthetic that would define his music and filmmaking career. Written entirely by Zombie and co-produced with Scott Humphrey, the album combines industrial metal, groove-heavy riffs, and horror film samples in a darkly cinematic style that pays tribute to vintage exploitation and monster movies.
Recorded primarily in California, the sessions featured contributions from John Tempesta, Blasko, and Mike Riggs, blending live instrumentation with digital production techniques. Tracks like “Dragula,” “Living Dead Girl,” and “Superbeast” became staples of late-90s metal, fueled by pulsing electronic rhythms and Zombie’s theatrical vocals. The album’s mix of camp, aggression, and horror imagery created a sound world that was both tongue-in-cheek and sinister—an industrial carnival of the undead that bridged metal’s underground and mainstream audiences.
Hellbilly Deluxe was a major commercial success, debuting in the Billboard Top 5 and eventually selling over three million copies in the United States alone. Critics praised its production and visual flair, and its singles became fixtures in films, video games, and alternative radio. Today, it stands as a defining release of the late-1990s metal era—a ghoulish, high-octane fusion of sound and spectacle that cemented Rob Zombie as one of rock’s most distinctive showmen.
