Rob Zombie is returning to the road to show his brother (Powerman 5000 frontman Spider) and Bob Wettner how to kick ass.

Rob Zombie will be embarking on October 29 for the "Hellbilly Deluxe 2 Tour". Not since 1998's super smash triple platinum "Hellbilly Deluxe" has Zombie hit the road under that moniker.

This will be Zombie's first headline tour since 2007 and will have other ghoulish delights in tow, including openers NEKROMANTIX and CAPTAIN CLEGG & THE NIGHT CREATURES, last seen rocking Haddonfield and Michael Myers in Zombie's new film "Halloween II". 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 1998 original, which is due on November 10.

That has to be the single longest title known to the music industry. I guess we call it Hellbilly Deluxe 2 because I am not writing out the rest of it. As a lazy rock journalist, I am foremost lazy. I don't want to type anything I don't really have to.

As soon as full tour dates are released, I'll pass them along.
