![]() ![]() ![]() Southern-fried rock bombast buffers the strutting "Shadow of a Cemetery Man," while smoky, blues-rock sludge covers "The Ballad of Sleazy Rider." As a playful harmonica and banjo combination teases a hillbilly hoedown on "18th Century Cannibals, Excitable Morlocks and a One-Way Ticket on the Ghost Train," the track explodes in a torrent of corrosive riffage that extends into the hard-charging thriller "The Eternal Struggles of the Howling Man," which is not the only time Conspiracy treads into Clutch territory (down to the vocal delivery and breakdown). This time around, Zombie stretches his reach even further, incorporating refreshing ideas that help break the monotony of his typical high-octane "hellbilly" antics. Inscrutably titled and strange as ever, the veteran rock icon sticks close to his established aesthetic: a sexed-up, sci-fi, psychedelic gore-fest packed with ghoulish cult-horror schlock, breakneck riffs, and pummeling delivery. Extending a late-era creative resurgence, Rob Zombie resurrects the spook show for album number seven, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy. ![]()
