Astro‐Creep: 2000: Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head
Astro-Creep: 2000 is the fourth and final studio album by American band White Zombie, released on 11 April 1995 on Geffen. It follows La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 from 1992, keeping that record's groove metal and alternative metal footing but layering on more industrial texture and darker, more unsettling subject matter. It is also the only White Zombie album with John Tempesta on drums.
It proved to be the band's biggest success. The singles "More Human than Human" and "Super-Charger Heaven" helped carry it to No. 6 on the Billboard 200, and it went on to sell over 2.6 million copies in the US, earning double-platinum certification. A Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album followed, though Tom Petty's Wildflowers took the prize. For anyone curious how heavy, groove-driven metal met the machine-made edge of the mid-1990s, this is the one to play.
