Rob Zombie | The Sinister Urge (LP)

Focusing on his love of horror and suspense, Rob Zombie named his second album The Sinister Urge, after the 1961 film of the same name (directed by Ed Wood). Featuring his third Top 20 Mainstream Rock single 'Demon Speeding' as well as metal juggernauts Ozzy Osbourne (guest vocals on 'Iron Head') and Kerry King (additional guitars on 'Dead Girl Superstar') along with a slurry of other notable guest musicians, this album has achieved platinum sales status as well garnering Rob his second Top 10 album chart in the Billboard 200.

Personnel: Rob Zombie (vocals); Ozzy Osbourne, Emm Gryner, Evelyn Rennu (vocals); Kerry King, Frank Gryner, Phil X, Scott Humphrey, Danny Lohner, Riggs (guitar); Jerry Hey, Gary Grant, Daniel Wiggins, Bill Renichenbach (horns); Blasko, Chris Chaney (bass); John Tempesta, Tommy Lee, Josh Freese, Gary Novak (drums); DJ Lethal (turntables). Recorded at The Chop Shop, Hollywood, California. "Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy)" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance. For those who doubted that demonic vocalist Rob Zombie wouldn't be able to replicate his former band's success (White Zombie) when he left to pursue a solo career in the late-90's, the curiosities were silenced with Rob's 1998 hit solo debut, HELLBILLY DELUXE. Now, after a 3 year break (during which time he wrote and directed a horror movie that has yet to be released due to its distributor getting cold feet), good old Rob returns with his long awaited sophomore effort, THE SINISTER URGE. Similar in style to its predecessor, URGE packs more wallop than a gang of grave robbing ghouls on Halloween night - featuring cameos by such heavy metal heavyweights as Slayer guitarist Kerry King and shock metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne. Standouts include the over-the-top intensity of the opening track, "Feel So Numb," "House of 1000 Corpses" (which also serves as the title of his aforementioned horror movie), and "Iron Head," the latter of which includes Ozzy supplying back-up vocals.
