Rob Zombie et Marilyn Manson

Rob grew up in Haverhill, Massachusetts and had an obsession with horror films from a young age and stated that he always "wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi, and Stan Lee". His parents worked in the carnival trade, so Rob had a taste of the eccentric from the very beginning however they decided to leave after a riot broke out in the tents one evening. Rob co-founded the band that would become known as White Zombie with his girlfriend at the time Sean Yseult. Zombie's music heavily draws influence from classic horror films and suspense films. He has listed Alice Cooper, KISS, Queen, and Elton John as some of his influences growing up.

White Zombie self released their first LP 'Soul-Crusher' in 1987 and followed this in 1989 with 'Make Them Die Slowly', neither release earned the band any commercial success. Undeterred, the band continued to record material and their first hit single came in the form of 'Thunder Kiss '65' which was featured on popular MTV show 'Beavis & Butt-head'. Their next album 'La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol.1' was a commercial success in both the US and Canada and has now sold over two million copies. White Zombie ended on a high with their final album 'Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head' which charted within the top 10 of the US album charts.

Rob had already begun writing solo material before the band's break up and his LP 'Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales Of Cadaverous Cavorting Inside The Spookshow International' was released in 1998. It was a commercial hit, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 121,000 overshadowing any of White Zombie's previous releases. All five of Rob's solo efforts have charted top 10 in the States and three are certified gold selling. Rob has pursued a number of other media outlets over his career, he has done voice over work in films including 'Slither', 'Super' and 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' and has directed 'Halloween' and 'The Lord Of Salem'.

Manson's first exposure to the music industry came whilst he was studying a journalism degree at Broward Community College in Florida, to gain experience he got a job working for 25th Parallel Magazine. He met several musicians including Nine Inch Nails, The Perfect and Trent Reznor who went on to inspire his own musical stylings in the future. Manson began to make music with guitarist Scott Putesky under the name Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, they later shortened it to just Marilyn Manson and continued to create demos and play small gigs.

In 1993, the band won the attention of Trent Reznor who agreed to release their first album on his label 'Portrait Of An American Family', it was not a commercial success at the time but has now sold over 600,000 copies in the US. This album gained the band a cult following when they toured it around the States. The follow up EP Smells Like Children and their first MTV hit in the form of a cover of Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' increased their fan base dramatically ahead of their second album release. 'Antichrist Superstar' has sold over seven million copies worldwide to date and became the turning point in the band's career, the combination of Manson as an eccentric frontman and the warped lyrics found in their discography turned their live shows into a cult phenomena which toured all over the world.

Manson has also worked within the film industry, making his debut in 1997 'Lost Highway' that was directed by David Lynch and has had minor roles in a number of films during his career. He is known as a controversial figure in the mainstream media due to his gothic appearance and demonic lyrics which are said to have a negative effect on his young listeners.

Orgy has built a worldwide audience for the brand. In late 2005, after the release of the D1 Music and Associates Punk Statik Paranoia PSP and their D1 Music /DLC Records Independent “TRANS GLOBAL SPECTACLE” DVD promotional tour the band went on a hiatus to work on their side projects. In 2011, after seven years of demand from fans for new music and a tour, founding member Jay Gordon (vocals) decided it was time to kick things back up and begin recording and touring again in support of ORGY’s fans.

Born in San Francisco, CA, Jay Gordon was heavily influenced by music from a young age. After playing bass for several years and working as a producer and engineer on several albums (including Coal Chamber’s self-titled album and others), Jay was introduced to four other musicians who, with him, would eventually form ORGY. After establishing themselves in the scene, the band was noticed by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis and signed to Elementree/Reprise records. Jay did an incredible remix of the Linkin Park song Points of Authority, which was the first video and single off of The Reanimation album and sold an incredible 7.1 million upon release. Jay went on producing and working in the studio with multiple artists. After many unsuccessful attempts to reconnect with each other, they decided to go their separate ways.
