Rob Zombie is back in full hellbilly mode! If you missed it, the heavy metal lifer, filmmaker, and pop culture ringleader has unleashed “(I’m A) Rock ’N’ Roller”, the third single from his upcoming eighth studio album The Great Satan, due February 27, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Following the Top 10-charting The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy (2021), Zombie cranks the amps, sharpens the hooks, and drags his sound back to the dirt. This is punk-fuelled, anthemic heavy rock with grease under its fingernails.
Early-era Zombie energy.
“(I’m A) Rock ’N’ Roller” hits exactly where it should: thick, boot-stomping grooves, chant-along choruses, and that unmistakable Zombie snarl. It’s a declaration of intent from a frontman who’s never chased trends and never plans to.
Rock and roll isn’t dying. It’s mutating.
The Great Satan continues that mission across 15 tracks, blending menace, swagger, and distortion-heavy theatrics into another unapologetic entry in Zombie’s long-running catalogue.

This summer, Zombie takes the noise on the road, teaming up with Marilyn Manson for the Freaks On Parade North American tour. The run kicks off August 20 in West Palm Beach and wraps September 20 in Concord, California, with stops including Toronto, Charlotte, Kansas City, Tinley Park, Pine Knob, and more.
Behind the scenes, the band lineup reflects Zombie’s full-circle era. Guitarist Mike Riggs is back in the fold, bringing the same crunch that powered Hellbilly Deluxe, The Sinister Urge, and American Made Music To Strip By. Bass duties now belong again to Rob “Blasko” Nicholson, returning after nearly two decades away, while longtime collaborator John 5 remains a major chapter in Zombie’s history after a 16-year run that ended when he joined Mötley Crüe.
Rob Zombie doesn’t revisit the past. He weaponizes it.
