Rob Zombie Drops New, Shredding Song, ‘The Eternal Struggles of The Howling Man’
Rob Zombie just dropped his second single off of his upcoming album The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy and it’s everything you expect from, and love about Rob. For starters, the song is classically titled titled The Eternal Struggles of The Howling Man
The video features Zombie and the guys in the studio, and on stage jamming out to new track. The video is interwoven with animated clips of the Howling Man. This dude initially starts off as Rob Zombie but quickly turns to frenzy and then Zombie becomes a full on blood-thirsty octane loving Werewolf. He spends the rest of the video driving fast, and running down the street eating people and pushing their eyeballs out of their sockets. Following all that, Zombie Wolf goes to the top of the mountain to let out a full on wolf howl of victory.
The song is pretty rad and pays little bit of homage to Warren Zevon’s Werewolve’s of London. Zombie does this by adding a small howl to the chorus similar to the Zevon hook.
Another awesome addition comes in the form of one of the greatest stuntmen – daredevil’s who ever lived and constantly dared to die. Robert Craig Knievel, aka, Evel Knieval. The video highlights one of Evel’s daring jumps with Zombie singing “Knieval kicked it now he’s dead” over and over again toward a metal crescendo.
Zombie has consistently been Zombie in his works. Meaning he always gives us what we love and expect from him and we can’t wait to get a listen to the full album. In the mean time wolf out with Zombie and “The Eternal Struggles of the Howling Man.”
You can head over to Zombie’s store and pre-order the album now.
Netflix has announced the cast of the upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. Read more here.

The Vampire Lestat Releases Cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself”
Dance on, the Beautiful Unwell, because The Vampire Lestat’s newest single has officially arrived on all streaming platforms!
The Vampire Lestat — the newest rock band taking over the world — has released a cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself” as the third single ahead of their full album release coming this summer.
Originally recorded in 1980 by Generation X, the punk rock band fronted by Billy Idol, the song didn’t gain major traction until Idol rereleased it as a solo artist in 1981. That version climbed to number. 27 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, cementing its place as an ‘80s staple.
Now, 46 years later, the track has been resurrected once again — and honestly, it couldn’t be more fitting for a band led by someone who claims to be an immortal vampire.
Yes, for those just tuning in: the frontman of The Vampire Lestat, Lestat de Lioncourt, insists he’s the real deal.
Whether you believe him or not, this cover marks a strong and deliberate direction for the band. Lestat’s voice slides effortlessly into Idol’s range, capturing that same sneering, electric energy while still making the song feel like his own. The new wave influence meshes perfectly with the aesthetic the band has been cultivating, something nostalgic, stylish, and entirely original all at once.
More importantly, the lyrics land differently in the context of the band’s previous singles, “Long Face” and “All Fall Down.” There’s a throughline of loneliness here that feels intentional.
Lines like “Well, I wait so long for my love vibration / And I’m dancing with myself,” and “If I looked all over the world… but your empty eyes seem to pass me by,” feel rather personal. There’s a lingering sense of longing that suggests Lestat isn’t just performing just for a crowd, but rather for someone in particular.
And that someone? Possibly not as absent as he’d like us to think.
Between the emotional undercurrent of “Long Face” and the beautiful man that’s been spotted at multiple concerts — someone who seems to command both Lestat’s attention and the audience’s in a lot of ways — it’s hard not to suspect there’s some very messy, very compelling relationship drama unfolding behind the scenes of The Vampire Lestat.
This is all speculative, of course, but it’s starting to feel like a pattern given everything we’ve seen from the band thus far.
But if you’re curious what an “immortal vampire” sounds like covering one of the most iconic songs of the ‘80s, you can stream The Vampire Lestat’s “Dancing With Myself” now wherever you listen to music.
Tidal
We here at iHorror will be covering the full album release once it’s out this summer. And we’ll also be keeping you updated on who that love with the “empty eyes that seem to pass [him] by” could be 👀

Ice Nine Kills’ “Twisting the Knife” On ‘Scream 7’ Soundtrack
Ice Nine Kills officially enters the canon of one of the most iconic horror franchises with ‘Twisting the Knife,’ featured in the forthcoming film Scream 7 (Feb.27). Cast member McKenna Grace joins the band on the new single, a rare, high-impact crossover between one of modern metal’s most ambitious bands and one of horror cinema’s most enduring properties.
Take a look at the video for Twisting the Knife Below, then read what lead singer Spencer Charnas has to say about his contribution.
Charnas says of his musical involvement in the film:
“Twisting the Knife is our tribute to Wes Craven and the Scream franchise, which means so much to us. Scream is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills—my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two. I was already obsessed with Halloween and Friday the 13th, but Scream was the first I saw in theaters. Hearing the killer talk about horror movies, in that distinctively pop-culture savvy Kevin Williamson way, blew my mind.
In recent years, we’ve gotten to know and work with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Lee Waddell, and others in different capacities. We announced the collaboration with Scream 7 at Wembley Arena, with Ghostface and Rose McGowan, which was surreal in itself.
When we learned that Mckenna Grace is a fan of our band, it made perfect sense to invite her to sing. She recorded her part in my home studio, in the same room where I keep my screen-used Scream knife prop, one of the four rubber knives made for the first movie.
Marco Beltrami’s Scream scores are just as influential to me as any other component of the films. In our song, there are echoes of the moody atmospheres he’s created, with our own INK twist.”
Scream 7 opens in theatres on Friday, February 27th.
Per the press release:
“Twenty years on from the release of their debut album, Ice Nine Kills are one of the most intentional and commercially successful bands in modern heavy music, driven by immersive cinematic world-building and a deep fusion of melody and bombast. Their two breakthrough albums, The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, generated over 1.5 billion streams alone and positioned the band as a rare crossover force.”
