Numero
Group's upcoming White
Zombie: It Came From N.Y.C.
CD/vinyl boxset, the quintessential resurrection of White Zombie's
eternally out-of-print early EPs and LPs, becomes available to the
masses in less than four weeks. With pre-orders going fast, make sure
to order
yours now before they are gone for good.
In
anticipation of the release, White Zombie bassist Sean Yseult
sat down with the Wall Street Journal to reflect on the old
days of the band and share some unheard music. The interview covers
everything from their influences, to how Yseult and Rob Zombie
co-founded the band, how they scraped cash together to press their
early records, and beyond.
Visit
wsj.com
now to read the interview and listen to a newly-unearthed classic
track recorded in 1986, entitled "Scarecrow #2", otherwise
only available via the boxset:

As
stated by Wall Street Journal's Michael Calia, "'Scarecrow
#2" rips along with a thundering, droning groove and wailing
vocals, but its improvisational spirit distinguishes it from later,
more slickly produced White Zombie tracks."
In
reference to White Zombie: It Came From N.Y.C. and the
band's experimental ways in their earlier years, Yseult states in the
interview, "We knew exactly what we were doing. That's what
we were going for. There's some really cool stuff in there."
White
Zombie: It Came From N.Y.C.
is the most exhaustive attempt so far to document the band's
wondrously ugly birth. Get reintroduced to White Zombie as New York
noise-rock, a grotesque creation that clawed and threatened its way
to crossover metal glory.
Spread
across five LPs or three compact discs, all 39 tracks on White
Zombie: It Came From N.Y.C. have been remastered by White
Zombie guitarist J. Yuenger himself and packaged alongside the
original lurid artwork. The accompanying 108-page book painstakingly
documents White Zombie's punishing progression through scores
of unpublished photos, period discography, a T-shirtography, and
tales from the terrifying early years that stitch together the sordid
story of a band whose true power eclipsed its mainstream heyday.
If
you missed the official unboxing video posted last week, you can
still check it out here.
What you see inside is just a taste of what you can expect from this
painstakingly-arranged media documentation of White
Zombie's
formative years.
