Astro Creep - 2000: Songs Of Love,... - White Zombie

When White Zombie hit the scene at the beginning of the '90s, their following was still mostly underground. "La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume I" was a moderate success, and "Thunder Kiss '65" was its biggest hit. Earlier album attempts have been described as "unmemorable", but thankfully the band kept plugging away. This album broke White Zombie through into the mainstream. To be honest, they deserved every ounce of success they got with this album, too; nowhere else could you hear danceable metal with a heavy instrumental line, yet samples and a hell of a beat. White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie (who later disbanded the ...  Read the complete review

Originally released on 11th April 1995 Astro Creep 2000 marked the fourth and final studio album that would be produced by the band White Zombie. White Zombie was a fantasy horror based band fronted by now solo artist Rob Zombie.

The first example of this can be heard straight away as the CD's starting up with the line "Perhaps you had better start from the beginning" which is from the film "To the Devil a Daughter" a film starring Christopher Lee. This theme of samples continues ...  Read the complete review

I had vaguely heard of White Zombie but I had been a bit apprehensive of buying any of their stuff (mainly because I hadn't heard much of it!).

The subtitle of the album is "songs of love, destruction and other synthetic delusions of the electric head" which just about sums it up really. The album is hard and relentless but always easy to listen to and I guarantee you will go about singing the songs to yourself for ...  Read the complete review

I first heard White Zombie the night before seeing them at the Monsters of rock festival. THEY ROCKED THAT PLACE! I've been a huge fan ever since ( apart from the remix albums) This is by far their best album (not including Robzombies solo album) and seeing as they split its their last too. The higlights of this album have to be Super Charger Heaven (or Devilman, if you know it by its chorus) and More Human than Human. Most of white Zombies music seems to be based on a film or some other tv programme. In the case of Super Charger heaven its inspired by the anime film Devilman and is one of my favorite songs. As is More human than Human, Its a rockin stompfest of ...  Read the complete review
