THE DROP
Rob Zombie dropped an official video for "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman" on Halloween weekend, pulled from his latest album "The Great Satan" on Nuclear Blast *, ¶. The track already had a life before this: it was the B-side to Sheri Moon Zombie's "I Love My Robot" picture disc, which sold out worldwide *, §.
WHAT TO KNOW
- "The Great Satan" landed earlier in 2026, his first studio album in five years, and runs 15 tracks with "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman" sequenced seventh *, §.
- V13 calls the record a return to Zombie's Hellbilly sound, horror imagery welded to hard rock and metal §.
- Lineup turnover since the last record: John 5 left for Mötley Crüe in 2022, Mike Riggs returned on guitar, and Blasko came back on bass after Piggy D. exited in 2024 *.
- Zombie co-headlined "Freaks On Parade" with Marilyn Manson over the summer, closing September 20 in Concord, California *.
THE TAKE
A Halloween video from Rob Zombie is the least surprising news of the year, but the Hellbilly framing matters: that is the lane where his hooks actually bite, and five years off plus a rebuilt rhythm section gives it a reason to exist beyond costume season *, §. The more telling detail is that this song was buried on a B-side first and is only now getting the full video treatment.
