Long before Rob Zombie was a mover and shaker in Hollywood he was the singer of New York industrial metal powerhouse White Zombie. They were all over MTV and radio in the 90s before Zombie decided to go solo and then get into film directing. Now those of us who remember watching the video fro Thunderkiss 65 on Beavis and Butthead have something to be excited about. Let Sleeping Corpses lie is a fours cd/one DVD box set that spans the bands entire career including soundtrack and noon album tracks. In fact nearly everything the band ever recorded is included here. From the scum punk stylings of the Gods on Voodoo Moon EP to the more polished Astro Creep 200. The DVD contains all the band’s music videos as well as a handful of live performances and a few easter eggs including the original White Zombie film starring Bela Lugosi. After listening to the box set and watching the DVD, it’s hard to believe these guys were New York art students and not a bunch of insane cannibal rednecks living in the middle of nowhere in Texas with only original film prints of bad grindhouse films and slaughter to entertain them. Sure it is all done tongue in cheek, but this music did have bite and an image that was over the top.
