The dead sings again: Rob Zombie is back with Hellbilly Deluxe 2


It’s been a long time since Rob Zombie has played trick or treat with our ears since focusing more on creating his sadistic horror flicks but the time has come for Hellybilly Deluxe 2.


Last time we heard from him was with 2006’s Educated Horses, which saw Zombie taking a more experimental route with a psychedelic approach. But that’s not the case with Hellbilly Deluxe 2. This time round he’s back with tracks that will make your skin crawl and have you fearing that something about to jump out your speakers and rip your throat out.


Tension in the in songs are built brilliantly with the use of eerie melodies and samples that sound like the script taken from a horror film. But you wont be shitting your pants from fear it will be the awesome guitar riffs and solos from ex-Manson guitarist John Five.


It’s great to hear an album made up completely of fantasy. Although being an ass kicking album it doesn’t compare to it’s piss your pants predecessor Hellbilly Deluxe. But with tracks like Virgin Witch that has a bone crunching guitar solo and ending the album with The Man Who Laughs and it’s head spinning drum roll towards the end. So you need to change your shit stained pants and get the courage to get an album that will have you hiding beneath the covers for the next year.

4/5
