Rob Zombie has released a lyric video for his latest single, a cover of Grand Funk Railroad’s ‘We’re An American Band’. The track is the second release from his fifth solo album, ‘Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor’
The album, which reached no.7 on the Billboard chart, is the first to feature former Marilyn Manson drummer Ginger Fish. Fish joined in 2011, becoming the second former Manson member to join Zombie’s band after John 5 became the group’s official guitarist in 2006.
Zombie’s fifth album coincided with the release of his fifth feature film, as ‘The Lords of Salem’, written and directed by Zombie, and starring his wife Sheri Moon Zombie, saw general release in April. Critical reception to the film was somewhat mixed, though many noted the directors signature, uncompromising style.
Having spent the latter part of 2012 performing alongside his shock-rock rival Marilyn Manson in the heavily publicised Twins of Evil Tour, which included four UK dates, Zombie is currently touring the USA with the Rockstar Mayhem Festival, alongside Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon and Amon Amarth.
‘Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor’ is out now.
