Robert Cummings

Rob Zombie is an American rock musician who became famous as the vocalist of the groove metal band White Zombie, which he and Shauna Islot founded in 1985. After the collapse of the collective, the artist began a solo career.

Robert Cummings (real name of the artist) was born on January 12, 1965 in Massachusetts, but already at the age of 19 he moved to New York. The musician's parents worked as organizers of all kinds of celebrations and therefore devoted very little time to their sons (the rocker has a younger brother - Michael Cummings, who is the lead singer of the Powerman 5000 group).

Rob later said in an interview that he fell in love with horror films as a child. Also, together with his family, he survived an attack on a tent city. The Cummings miraculously managed to survive.

Having hardly received a certificate of secondary education, Robert entered the College of Fine Arts, which he never graduated. Before organizing his own musical group "White Zombie", the singer worked as a courier and a loader for a couple of months.

To match the band singing about the afterlife, Cummings changed his image and came up with a stage name, becoming Rob Zombie. Already from the first years of his musical career, the singer developed his own corporate style - long hair and a face overgrown with a beard, which gave the young man, whose height is 178 cm, and his weight did not exceed 83 kg, an awesome look.

Rob remained the undisputed vocalist of White Zombie throughout the band's existence. Interestingly, the band's second co-founder, Shauna Isalt, played bass. The team also included guitarist Jay Eugenger and drummer Ivan de Pryum, who was replaced 6 years later by John Tempesta.

The first work in the discography of the musicians was the album "Soul-Crusher", which did not bring much fame. The second disc, "Make Them Die Slowly", received positive reviews from critics. Iggy Pop participated in the recording of the third disc. Well, the last disc "Astro-Creep: 2000" even took 6th place in the Billboard 200 chart and received platinum status. By the time of the beginning of his solo career, the singer had extensive experience in creating rock music, so he immediately achieved some success.

In 1997, Rob organized his own project, continuing to develop the industrial and groove metal genres of music. After spending ten months in a recording studio, the singer released his first album, Hellbilly Deluxe, to the delight of his fans. It is known that the circulation of the disc was three times higher than the circulation of the albums of "White Zombie".

Over the next year, the artist toured with concerts in cities and countries. As a result, "Hellbilly Deluxe" went platinum three times and for a couple of months was in the top of the most demanded musical compositions in Europe. The second single of the musician, which was released in 1998, was the song "Living Dead Girl" ("Living Dead Girl"). Later, Zombie released a collection of remixes of his debut album and even wrote the soundtrack for the film Mission: Impossible 2.

After a successful film debut, the rocker released a second album and invited Ozzy Osbourne, Tommy Lee from Motley crue, Kerry King from Slayer, DJ Letala from Limp Bizkit and Alice Cooper to work on it. The release of the CD "The Sinister Urge" made a lot of noise among the fans of the "heavier" songs, and even the most fastidious music gourmets would like it.

In the period from 2006 to 2016, the records "Educated Horses", "Hellbilly Deluxe 2", "Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor" and "The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser" were released. A couple of singles from "The Electric Warlock" were video clips.

At the moment, Rob Zombie also features Ginger Fish (drums), John 5 (guitar) and Piggy D. (guitar) in addition to Rob himself. It is worth noting that Ginger and John were previously members of the Marilyn Manson collective and for a couple of years performed with Brian Hugh on the same stage, releasing albums one after another, which eventually became mainstream.

Rob, in addition to music, took on directing and screenwriting. In March 2003, the film "House of 1000 Dead" was released on the big screens, created in the traditional style of horror films with elements of black humor. The film, aimed at real moviegoers, and not at random passers-by, starred Zombie's wife, as well as actors Sid Haig and Karen Black.

Two years later, the premiere of the sequel to the film "House of 1000 Dead" entitled "Cast out by the Devil" took place.

2007 was marked by the release of the thriller "Halloween 2007". The film, which is a remake of the 1978 film of the same name by John Carpenter, stars Deg Furch, Malcolm McDowell and William Forsyth.

This time, Rob invited viewers to look at the fate of the killer Michael Myers from a different angle and understand what pushed him on the path of violence and caused a series of bloody events in subsequent years. It is noteworthy that the film was positively evaluated against the background of the best American slashers "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Hitcher", "Friday the 13th".

In August 2009, the second part of the movie "Halloween 2007" was released. Zombie initially gave up work on a sequel to his remake, feeling he had no enthusiasm left for another movie.

After two years of unsuccessful attempts to write a sequel, the Weinstein brothers and Rob Zombie, who had a renewed interest in working on the film, wrote the script. It paid much attention to the relationship between the main characters - Laurie and Michael.

In the same year, another film was completed - this time an animated comedy with horror elements "The Phantom World of El Superbeesto". In the animated film, the goodies fight against Dr. Satan.

In 2013, Rob's filmography was replenished with the mystical thriller Lords of Salem, the plot of which tells about the inhabitants of the city of Salem, which is the habitat of witches.

In 2016, the director, inspired by the theme of Halloween, creates the film "31", in which it was about five people who were kidnapped on the eve of the holiday and became victims of a maniac. Interestingly, fans of Rob Zombie appeared in secondary roles, who helped him with financing the project.

In addition to writing and producing, Zombie is also involved in voice acting. It is known that in the film "Guardians of the Galaxy" by James Gunn, the navigation computer system of the Ravagers spoke in the voice of a rock musician.

There is very little information on the web regarding the personal life of a rock artist. After moving to New York, Rob met with Shauna Isolt, with whom he organized a joint group. Even when the young people had already parted, they continued to play in the same musical group.

It is only known for certain that in October 2002 the vocalist legalized his relationship with the actress and designer Sheri Moon Zombie, with whom the singer had met for a couple of years.

Few people know, but despite the fact that Rob sings about evil spirits and hell, he himself is a believing Christian. Therefore, it is not surprising that the wedding took place, which took place in the church, which was attended by a priest.

Now the spouses live in perfect harmony. The artist is a frequent guest at his wife's shows, and she supports her husband in everything. It is worth noting: Sheri is very proud that her lover does not stand still and, in addition to music, also realizes her ambitions in cinema, trying herself as a director and producer.

In 2017, Rob travels around cities and countries, delighting fans with the performance of both old compositions and new hits. In August, the rocker performed at the Maximus Festival in Argentina and sang Dead City Radio And The New Gods Of Super town, Super beast and Living Dead Girl songs for the audience at the event.

At the same time, the artist announced that he was preparing a new album for release. True, the singer did not mention the release date. In anticipation of the new disc, fans can only listen to the old singles and watch the clips.

Despite the fact that now the performer gives all of himself to touring and working on new material, Cummings does not forget about the subscribers. On Instagram, the musician often uploads photos from performances and personal archives.

It is worth noting that social networks are not the only resource that tells fans about the latest news from the life of their pet. On the rocker's official website, anyone can order merch, see the schedule of concerts, and also get acquainted with the creative biography of the star.

The author will realize his interest in the theme of the Apocalypse in the horror film Three from Hell, which will be released, presumably, in 2019. In the new film, the musician will act as a director, screenwriter and producer of the project.
