(2003) |"The Sinister Urge" is the second solo
album (not counting theremix album "American Made Music to Strip By ") by the former White Zombie singerRob Zombie , released in 2001. The album was named after the 1961Ed Wood film "The Sinister Urge".The album features a more experimental air than Zombie's debut solo album, "
Hellbilly Deluxe ". While it didn't take Zombie in a completely different direction, it incorporated various methods not used in his music before, such as the horns on "(Go To) California" and turntables used on almost half the album. This experimental trend would continue and diversify even more on his next album, "Educated Horses .""
Iron Head " features a guest vocal fromOzzy Osbourne , "Dead Girl Superstar " contains an additional guitar solo played byKerry King (Slayer ).Track listing
