The tour will usher in Zombie’s forthcoming album Hellbilly Deluxe 2 – Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool (Geffen), a companion to the 1998 original.
The tour is hosted by Uncle Seymour Coffins, seen recently in Halloween II. Zombie will be accompanied by his longtime band mates — guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D. and drummer Tommy Clufetos.

He has written and directed five feature length films, directed dozens of high profile music videos, contributed recordings to multiple soundtracks and authored several comic books.

The band has also been making the rounds on national television shows including the Today Show and The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

The album was released by Warner Bros. Records on June 2nd and the band celebrated with a performance of their Top 10 Modern Rock hit “Sink Into Me” on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Produced by David Kahne, New Again has earned effusive critical praise. Rolling Stone declared the track “Sink Into Me,” “the first song by an Emo-Pop band that the Foo Fighters wish they’d written: Catchy, lusty and sleekly propulsive.” They have been playing to sold-out audiences for months and recently headlined the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey with No Doubt to a crowd of over 30,000. The band premiered their new single “Where My Mouth Is” on MTV’s It’s On With Alexa Chung in August. The song goes to radio this month.
