Now, the seven-time Grammy nominated recording artist releases his fifth solo album, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, which streets April 23, and includes the first single, "Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Super Town," along with such tracks as "Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga," "Lucifer Rising," "Behold! The Pretty Filthy Creatures" and a heavy-duty cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "We're an American Band." Rob Zombie's Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor is the first release on his new label, Zodiac Swan, through T-Boy Records/UME.

After three gold albums in a row and ten consecutive top ten radio singles, Five Finger Death Punch continue their evolution in 2013 by releasing a new single in early May, followed by their fourth studio album in June. FFDP are set to perform live at this year's Revolver Golden Gods Awards show in Los Angeles on May 2 and will warm up for Mayhem playing this summer's most prestigious European festivals, amongst them UK's Download Festival and Germany's Rock am Ring and Rock im Park.
