Rob Zombie Announces Summer Tour in Support of New Album

As the release of his latest grungy throwback thriller 31 (read our review HERE)  has been temporarily bogged down by distributor woes, director and musician Rob Zombie isn’t exactly sitting idle. his latest album, with twelve tracks of raunchy rock and a psychedelic mouthful of a title that would make writer Tom Wolfe proud, is primed to drop on April twenty-ninth from Universal Music. That album, THE ELECTRIC WARLOCK ACID WITCH SATANIC ORGY CELEBRATION DISPENSER, will be accompanied by a cross-continent tour headlined by both Zombie and fellow funk-metallers Korn. The two acts previously shared stages in 2013 during the aptly-named “Night of The Living Dreads” tour; let’s not forget that Korn singer Jonathan Davis has dipped a toe into the world of horror films himself, having written score music for 2002’s vampire Lestat film QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, and was long attached to star alongside Roddy Piper in the doomed SIN JIN SMYTH project prior to its disappointing collapse.

The tour kicks off July nineteenth in Englewood, Colorado and proceeds over the following dates and locations:
