After five years of waiting, the hellbilly Rob Zombie has crawled out of his crypt with "Tarantula"—splayed and louder than all the bland, homogenous streaming fare combined. He's unleashed the video from his eighth solo album, "The Great Satan," the behemoth that hit shelves on February 27, 2026—his first studio album since 2021. And this thing grooves like a wrecking ball with a serious sense of rhythm.
"Tarantula" thumps through your ears in classic hellbilly mode: fat industrial riffing, that unmistakable, dirty zombie yearning in the chorus, and a groove that inevitably makes you nod your head whether you want to or not. Nothing is reinvented here – this is a celebration of what Zombie has perfected since "Hellbilly Deluxe": horror rock 'n' roll that smells of gasoline, drive-in movies, and cheap bourbon.
The video relies on raw performance in garish yellow, no frills, no inflated plot. Just the band spitting the song into the camera with full force – and that's all it takes. No experimentation, just a riff like a punch. Sometimes you don't need reinvention, just volume. And as long as someone keeps this dirty hellbilly fire burning, the mainstream can happily stay in the waiting room!
More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
