Rob Zombie gives new album ridiculous title

Goth rocker Rob Zombie has revealed his forthcoming fifth studio album will be titled Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor.

Goth rocker Rob Zombie has revealed his forthcoming fifth studio album will be titled Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor.


The new album was produced by Bob Marlette (Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd) and is due for a local release April 23.


According to the man himself, the new album will feature a mix of old and new styles.


"It's stylistically sort of a little bit of everything," Zombie told Toledo Free Press (via Blabbermouth).


"Fans of my really old stuff will love it because there's a certain aspect of it that's very reminiscent of that. But it also is very looking to the future. It's hard to describe music to somebody if they haven't heard it, but I feel like it's the best of all of the things I've done. I've finally found a perfect match between the old stuff I did and the new stuff. That's the way it sounds to me anyway”.


Zombie also says he’s confident Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor will be one of his best releases yet.


"It seems to happen every couple of years or every 10 years or every five years or whatever, you have a moment when it all comes together. Not that the other records are bad, but not every record can be like the most inspired event in your life. But for some reason, this one feels like it is. The songwriting, the sound of it, the vibe, the production — it's special."
