We get a (sort of) explanation as to why we won’t be getting the Rob Zombie album until early 2010. Read about the possibility of Rob Zombie UK dates next year!

Rob Zombie has spoken to Billboard about why his latest album, ‘Hellbilly Deluxe 2 – Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool’, has been put back. the album was scheduled to be with us on November 16th but has now been put back to an undisclosed 2010 date.

“Basically the label (Geffen) wasn’t really in a position to promote it or deal with it,” Zombie explained. “It was basically everything, from getting advance copies to the press to…There wasn’t even time to make a video  and we were leaving for the tour. There was the sense that every little thing about the record was rushed — not the music, ’cause that was done for a long time, and that was the thing that was so annoying. We spent so much time crafting the record, we didn’t want it to be something that was so chaotic that it became, ‘Oh, that’s done and gone’ two weeks later.”
