Rob Zombie\'s fifth solo album adds Marilyn Manson drummer Ginger Fish to a lineup that already features Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5. At this juncture in 2013, it\'s Zombie who\'s keeping the flames of hell, shock rock, and B-movie deliciousness alive. With John 5—a respected guitarist who pens regular columns for guitar magazines—cowriting the material, there\'s no shortage of music to go with Zombie\'s horror-punk lyrics. Tunes like \"Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Supertown,\" Teenage Nosferatu P\*\*\*y,\" and \"White Trash Freaks\" continue his trademarked silliness and primal rock-god status. A cover of Grand Funk Railroad\'s \"We\'re an American Band\" is surprisingly melodic and inventive, considering how crowd-pumping the tune naturally is. (The cowbell reigns supreme—no worries!) A tune like \"Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga\" jams exactly as you\'d expect. When you have as recognizable a brand of music as Rob Zombie, that\'s as good as it gets for any artist.
