Past, Present & Future

This retrospective roars down the highway like a dragster decked out with devil horns and human skulls. Sporting a few White Zombie ragers, the collection kicks off with “Thunder Kiss ’65”, an industrialised metal groover in which the singer’s hellish growl rides motor-psycho power chords and hip-swivelling wah-wah. Shifting to Zombie’s solo stuff, “Dragula” is a pounding mash-up of horror-flick effects and hulking techno beats, while “Two-Lane Blacktop” is high-octane riff-metal showing off his love for early Alice Cooper shock-rock hooks.
