WHITE ZOMBIE – Box Set Of Early Material Coming In June
February 16, 2016, 8 years ago
Years before Beavis and Butthead headbanged "Thunder Kiss '65" and "More Human Than Human" into the eternal rock video canon, there was primordial White Zombie-a quintessential, diabolically loud by-product of Manhattan's underground rock scene, born of art-school rendezvous and squalid apartment circumstance. On June 3rd Numero resurrects White Zombie's eternally out-of-print early EPs and LPs as It Came From N.Y.C. This set is the most exhaustive attempt so far to document the band's wondrously ugly birth. Get reintroduced to White Zombie as New York noise-rock, a grotesque creation that clawed and threatened its way to crossover metal glory.
Spread across five LPs or three compact discs, all 39 tracks have been remastered by White Zombie guitarist J. Yuenger and packaged alongside the original lurid artwork. The accompanying 108-page book painstakingly documents White Zombie's punishing progression through scores of unpublished photos, period discography, a T-shirtography, and tales from the terrifying early years that stitch together the sordid story of a band whose true power eclipsed its mainstream heyday. White Zombielives. Don't be afraid.
