His second album, The Sinister Urge (2001), became his second platinum album in the U.S.

He released a total of eight studio albums, the most recent being The Great Satan (2026).

Metacritic: 64 out of 100 based on five reviews, indicating generally favourable reviews
Consequence: rated the album B+, saying its instrumentation and lyrics are equal parts memorable and evil
AllMusic: 4.5 out of 5 stars, describing a sexed-up, sci-fi, psychedelic gore-fest with cult-horror schlock, breakneck riffs and pummeling delivery
Kerrang!: 3 out of 5 stars, calling it a familiar ride that is hard to beat
Kerrang! criticised the album's length but praised the singles The Triumph of King Freak and The Eternal Struggles of the Howling Man for their turbocharged drive
Rolling Stone: 1.5 out of 5 stars, dismissing the album as the same disco-metal sound Zombie had been offering for 30 years

First studio album by Zombie to reach No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, with 26,000 copies sold in the US in the week ending March 18
Zombie's fourth No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts
His previous best on those charts was No. 5, shared by Hellbilly Deluxe (1998), Educated Horses (2006) and The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser (2016)

The album was Zombie's first studio record to top Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, selling 26,000 copies in its first tracked week in the US.
The Italian Wikipedia tracklist opens with the 54-second Expanding the Head of Zed and closes with the 5-minute Crow Killer Blues.
