Previous albums were written and recorded by Rob Zombie himself and a rotating set of musicians. Hellbilly Deluxe 2, released in February 2010, is the first release where Rob Zombie worked with his full touring band. John 5, of Marilyn Manson fame, and Tommy Clufetos, the former drummer for Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper, replaced Mike Riggs and John Tempesta, who had left the band in 2003 to work on other projects.

He was the former lead singer for the rock/metal group White Zombie, and later became a successful solo artist, disbanding the group after his first solo album, the 1998 release Hellbilly Deluxe, sold more in the first week than any of the band's albums ever did. Rob Zombie was born as Robert Cummings in Haverhill, Massachusetts on January 12, 1965. ![]()
