White Zombie was founded by writer, vocalist, and graphic artist, Rob
Zombie, after coming up with the band idea in 1985 while attending Pratt in his
junior year. Rob's girlfriend at the time, Sean Yseult, was playing the farfisa
keyboard in the band LIFE. Ena Kostabi owned a studio which he would rent out to
different bands. When he met Sean, she asked if he could teach her to play bass.
They then recruited Peter Landau to play drums and began to write and record
songs. White Zombie's first release Gods on Voodoo Moon was an EP and was
recorded on October 18, 1985. It was released under the band's own label Silent
Explosion, under which they would release most of their early work. Only 300
copies were pressed, of which only 100 were sold; the band members still retain
possession of the remaining 200.
In 1986, Rob hired Tim Jeffs as the replacement for Kostabi, and Ivan de Prume
as the replacement for Landau. It was at this time the band started touring,
making their live performance debut at CBGB's on April 28, 1986. White Zombie
released their second EP Pig Heaven that year. The release contained only two
songs, "Pig Heaven" and "Slaughter the Grey", and retained the same sound as
their previous effort. It was at this time the band started touring locally for
the first time. After only a few live shows, Jeffs left the band and was quickly
replaced by Tom Guay. The band released a second pressing of Pig Heaven with
different cover art. Only 500 copies of each pressing were released on vinyl.
In 1987, the band released their third EP, Psycho-Head Blowout. Later that year,
the band released their first full length album Soul-Crusher, which was their
first release to feature sound clips from movies in the songs, a trademark that
would continue for the remainder of the band's lifespan. John Ricci replaced Tom
Guay shortly after the release of Soul-Crusher. This is also the first album
crediting "Rob Zombie," instead of his previous stage name "Rob 'Dirt' Straker."
In 1988, the band signed to Caroline Records, permanently discontinuing their
old indie label. About 1,000 copies of the vinyl were pressed for both the
original and the re-release. After the re-release of the album in 1988, White
Zombie began to tour outside of their northeast home, gaining slightly more
recognition. In 1989, the band released their second LP Make Them Die Slowly.
The album was a musical shift for White Zombie. While their previous releases
had been strictly punk influenced noise rock, Make Them Die Slowly had more of a
heavy metal sound. The band stated that they wanted to play more of what they
were influenced by and to keep it simple. It was also evident that Rob's vocals
had grown deeper and he was no longer shrieking the lyrics in a high pitched
tone. Unfortunately, lack of funds and shoddy production rendered many songs
intended for the album to be unusable.
When Ricci's carpal tunnel syndrome severely affected his ability to play
guitar, Jay Yuenger, or "J", replaced him for the remainder of the band's years,
which took them in a more metal/groove-influenced direction. One of the most
obvious examples of this direction is the difference between the songs "Disaster
Blaster" on Make Them Die Slowly and the re-worked version, "Disaster Blaster
2", on the God of Thunder EP. The EP featured a more groove-oriented sound that
differed from anything they had released before.
