Rob Zombie

The band's fourth, and ultimately final, studio album Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head was released in 1995, and reached number 6 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to receive a multi-platinum certification from the RIAA, much like their previous album. It spawned the successful single "More Human Than Human", which peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in the United States. Rob directed the video for "Human", and would go on to direct all of the band's subsequent videos. In 1996, the band released their first remix album Supersexy Swingin' Sounds, featuring remixes of their previous releases. The compilation album would ultimately be their last to enter the Billboard 200, and the last album formed during their formation. Read Less
