About

Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales Of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside The Spookshow International (more often referred to by the shortened title Hellbilly Deluxe) is the debut solo album by the former White Zombie singer Rob Zombie. Hellbilly Deluxe was released on August 25, 1998. The album's title is a play on the Dwight Yoakam album Hillbilly Deluxe. Musically, the album features elements of heavy metal and groove metal, while the songs on the album portray Zombie's love for classic horror films both lyrically and musically. Some from the album also include heavy use of guitar and drums, while other songs feature a more electronic sound than his previous work with White Zombie. The majority of the album was recorded in California, and was produced by Rob Zombie himself and Scott Humphrey.

The lead single, "Dragula", was released in August 1998, which entered the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. A remix of the song was used in the action film The Matrix, and was covered by metalcore band Motionless in White. The second single, "Living Dead Girl", became Zombie's second Top 10 on the "Mainstream Rock" chart, and was featured in numerous horror films following its release. "Superbeast", the album's last single, was released in 1999. The song has, like the previous singles, been featured in numerous films since its release. Hellbilly Deluxe was a commercial success, debuting at number 5 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to sell over three million copies in the United States alone, earning it a 3x Platinum Certification from the RIAA. Hellbilly Deluxe is Zombie's best selling album to date. Hellbilly Deluxe received mixed critical reviews. The album's commercial success, however, spawned a remix album in 1999 titled American Made Music to Strip By. The album features remixes for the majority of the album. In 2005, Hellbilly Deluxe was re-released featuring new artwork and a bonus DVD which featured a music video for all of the tracks. Zombie himself directed the music videos for the songs. Zombie's 2010 album Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool is a follow up to Hellbilly Deluxe, and features similar musical styles and themes. On September 14, 2009 it was announced that Rob Zombie would embark on his Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour, in support of the album. Music from the original album was performed on the tour, as well as new material.
