Rob Zombie has commented on the death of former White Zombie drummer Phil Buerstatte who passed away last weekend. Speaking through his Facebook, Zombie offered the rather blunt statement on his passing:

“Well, I heard rumors of this a few days ago but I wasn’t sure if they were true or not. But it seems that one of our former drummers for White Zombie has died. Phil Buerstatte who was in the band for about two years 1992-94 was found dead this weekend.

“Phil was a very trouble guy during his time with us and I never really knew what happened to him after he left the band. The few stories I heard were not good. He played on three recording with us in his brief time, Feed The Gods on The Airheads Soundtrack, Children of the Grave and I AM HELL from the Beavis and Butthead soundtrack.”

White Wizzard have released the below stream of their new song “Strike The Iron“. The bands Jon Leon said of the track:

“Strike the Iron is my favorite White Wizzard song I have ever written, along with The Sun Also Rises, which closes the new record. I am very proud of the arrangement. I had the verse melody in my head and chorus line before I even picked up the guitar and started writing it. It has stunning leads by Jake and Will, and Joseph interpreted the vocal melody fantastically and gave so much character to it. This song really exemplifies everything this line-up is capable of and everyone’s talents really came through on it. It never lets up and we are very excited to get this one out there live… I expect it to be our opening song for the next couple of years.”

The group have a June 25th North American release date slated for their new album “The Devils Cut” on Century Media/Earache Records.
