An 11-minute Best Buy exclusive video with Rob Zombie in which the musician goes track by track through his fifth album, “Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor”, can be seen below.
“Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor” is likely to sell between 27,000 and 32,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on April 23 via Zodiac Swan/T-Boy/Ume. The CD was produced by Bob Marlette, who has previously worked with everyone from BLACK SABBATH and ALICE COOPER to WILSON PHILLIPS and LYNYRD SKYNYRD.
Rob Zombie‘s fourth solo album, “Hellbilly Deluxe 2”, debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard album chart on February 10, 2010, selling 49,000 copies in its first week of release. That total was less than 50 percent of the number of copies that his previous effort, “Educated Horses”, sold in its first week back in April 2006, when it moved 107,000 copies to land at No. 5 on the chart.

Zombie has told Artist Direct in a new interview that “Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor” could one day make it to the big screen as a Zombie-directed film. The rocker and filmmaker explained, “I think it could. I made it with that in mind. At least in my mind — no one else knows this — I wanted to have a storyline that runs through the record so if someday I wanted to make it into a movie musical like THE WHO‘s ‘Tommy’ or ‘Quadrophenia’, there was a structure to follow. I’m not really talking about what it is because I think it’s sort of relevant at this point.”
Zombie and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will headline the 2013 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which kicks off on June 29 in San Bernardino, California.
