Riggs and Tempesta, tired of waiting around while Rob worked on films, left the band and started Scum of the Earth, a band whose sound is most similar to Hellbilly Deluxe-era Rob Zombie (Tempesta later split from Scum of the Earth to play drums for The Cult). He attracted a lot of negative attention for his remake of Halloween and its sequel. Since then, Rob has divided his attention between his music career and writing, producing, and directing the sort of trashy, B-movie horror films that he loves so much. He followed it up in 2001 with The Sinister Urge. He produced his most successful album, Hellbilly Deluxe, in 1998. Ginger Fish - drums (also formerly of Marilyn Manson).John 5 - guitars (formerly of Marilyn Manson).White Zombie disbanded in 1998, and Rob became a borderline solo artist. This incarnation put out two well-received albums, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. Eventually, once The '90s rolled around, the band signed with Geffen Records, recruited a new guitarist named Jay Noel Yuenger and re-fashioned themselves as a Industrial-influenced Groove Metal band that used lots of samples from old B-movies and trashy, surreal horror-movie aesthetics.
