Astro Creep : 2000 (1995) |
La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 is a 1992 album by White Zombie. The album was a breakout hit for White Zombie, climbing up the charts in the US and gaining massive MTV video airplay and Mainstream Rock radio airplay with "Thunder Kiss '65". The album has been certified Double Platinum by the RIAA.
The album's sound is a mix of Alternative Metal, Groove Metal, and Funk Metal with lots of B-movie samples. Rob Zombie explained he "wanted to keep a groovable dance element in the music" which is often absent in Metal music.
Contrary to rumors, a "Devil Music, Vol. 2" was never planned for recording or release.
