| Now that Rob Zombie has released a new single, "War Zone," from the Punisher: War Zone soundtrack, of course fans want to know when a new record will be coming out. Zombie says that he is "almost finished" recording his new album and that it will be more of a group effort rather than a pure solo album.
"We're almost finished. We'll probably finish with the record completely before Christmas, and it's great," Zombie told MTV about his forthcoming, still-untitled effort. "The unique thing about this record is, it's the first time since White Zombie broke up that I've actually recorded with a band, in the sense that these are the guys that I tour with, that I hang out with, and we're a band, and we'll record as a band."
The group in question includes guitarist John 5, drummer Tommy Clufetos and bassist Piggy D.
"The record's hard to describe, but it's just got a much more solid vibe, and it's going to be a much more intricate, interesting record just due to the fact that we have four people that are in the room all the time, contributing and working on it," Zombie continued. "For me, it's great, because my solo records have been somewhat disjointed because there's always a changing roster of people. Great things usually come out of situations where you have a great vibe and you can usually feel it. And that's what's going on here... Having a band helps because we change things at the spur of the moment. We'll start with something in the morning, and by the end of the day, it's morphed into something completely different."
Meanwhile, on November 25, Zombie will release Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, the career-spanning, five-disc box set from White Zombie. And with that, he's essentially closing the door on his former band for good. "There's really nothing more to be done," he told MTV. "There's other crappy demos and stuff we could release, but they're probably not worth listening to. This is the last thing that will come from the band." He added, "When the band started, everyone was so young, and then you go through a lot of changes. You start a band when you're 18, and I don't remember how old I was when it ended, but you're basically right out of high school. So you're not in a mind frame to sometimes handle what it takes to put that together, and then you do mature, and being in a band becomes a weird situation, because it's almost like the situation hasn't matured with you. So that band had a lot of growing pains and a lot of baggage all the way through. I think we did a lot of good stuff, and we were kind of ahead of the curve in the beginning, and we did some groundbreaking stuff. But it was a painful situation most of the time."
