However, Rob met girlfriend Sean Yseult at this time, and they founded White Zombie – hence Rob’s stage name – and the band added much to his net worth as a leader, and which was active from 1985 until 1998. The band played alternative metal, groove metal, industrial metal and heavy metal music, and released 1 singles, four studio albums, six EPs, two compilation albums, four video albums, nine music videos and nine soundtracks. The most successful were the last two studio albums entitled “La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol.1″(1992) and “Astro-Creep:2000 – Song of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Hea” (1995), which were both twice certified in the U.
