ROB ZOMBIE Says Label Of 18 Years 'Just Wasn't Working' For Him Anymore

December 16, 2009

The Pulse of Radio reports: Rob Zombie recently left his label home of 18 years, Geffen Records, and signed a new deal with indie label Roadrunner Records' Loud & Proud imprint. While the move delayed the release of Zombie's new album, "Hellbilly Deluxe 2", from this fall to next year, the singer told The Pulse of Radio that the switch was for the best. "I was really loving the album, and I was very nervous about Geffen because over the years they've sort of just, you know, morphed into a different label," he said. "They've gone from being like the premiere hard rock label, back in the day that I signed to, to something else. It just didn't feel good to me, and I thought, like, 'I've got to get off this label.' You know, we pulled the release date obviously and I was like, you know, no matter what it takes, it's worth it, let's just find a new label, 'cause this just isn't working for me anymore."

"Hellbilly Deluxe 2" will now come out on February 2, 2010. Two songs from the album are already at radio stations, "What?" and "Sick Bubblegum".

Zombie signed with Geffen in 1991 and sold more than 15 million records on the label as a solo artist and with WHITE ZOMBIE.

Zombie recently completed a fall tour to promote the record's upcoming release and will be back out on the road shortly after the holiday break.
