Rob Zombie has unveiled his latest single, 'Heathen Days,' the second track from his upcoming eighth studio album, The Great Satan. The hard-hitting industrial-metal song comes accompanied by a music video directed by Zombie himself. The album is set for release on February 27, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Rob Zombie, the shock rock icon known for his work with White Zombie and solo projects, dropped 'Heathen Days' on November 21, 2025, marking the follow-up to the album's lead single, 'Punks and Demons.' The track clocks in at just over two minutes and delivers a crushing groove with lyrics invoking chaos and war, echoing Zombie's early industrial-metal sound reminiscent of his initial solo efforts and influences like Ministry.
Music Video Details
The official music video, directed by Zombie, features the artist and his band performing in a dimly lit basement setting. It alternates between shots of the performers masked and unmasked, capturing the raw energy of a live session. Fans can stream the video alongside the single, which is now available for listening.
Album Background
The Great Satan represents Zombie's eighth studio album and follows his 2021 release, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy, which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200. Pre-orders for the new album are currently available through Nuclear Blast Records. This release comes amid recent band changes, including the return of bassist Blasko and guitarist Mike Riggs, ahead of Zombie's summer tour with Alice Cooper.
The single's throwback vibe has been praised for recapturing the ferocity of Zombie's formative years, setting the stage for what promises to be a high-octane addition to his discography.
