“It’s like going to your high school reunion.”
– Rob Zombie
When Rob Zombie got to work on compiling the White Zombie box set, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, his first thought was “I don’t really remember all of this.” The second thought was, “What were we thinking?!” Anyone familiar with the musical horror show that is White Zombie knows that the band’s 1998 demise wasn’t exactly an amicable one. So, putting the 5 CD/1 DVD career-spanning box set together wasn’t exactly a fun trip down memory lane for Mr. Robert Bartleh Cummings.
“It’s like going to your high school reunion,” says Zombie, whose list of movie credits (Halloween, The Devil’s Rejects, Grindhouse, House of 1,000 Corpses) is as impressive as his music career. “It’s not necessarily fun and you don’t always remember everything. You’re not really looking forward to it, but it is what it is and you do it. It was kind of like that.”
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie includes all 64 original studio recordings from White Zombie’s career, which spanned from 1985-1996 and includedAstro Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction, and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head, which hit No. 6 on The Billboard 200 and spawned the top 10 hit song “More Human Than Human.” Along with all four CDs, nine music videos (including their breakthrough Grammy-nominated hit “Thunder Kiss ’65”), and 10 live performances of such classics as “I Am Hell” from The Beavis & Butt-Head Experience.
