The band independently released two studio albums, which failed to have commercial success but caught the attention of artists such as Kurt Cobain and Iggy Pop. Zombie first rose to fame as a founding member of the heavy metal band White Zombie. Hellbilly Deluxe is Zombie's most successful album to date. "Dragula" is often referred to as Zombie's signature song, and remains his highest selling single worldwide. All three of the songs were used extensively in the media, appearing in various films and video games.
The album's third and final single was " Superbeast", which failed to emulate the commercial performance of the album's first two singles. " Living Dead Girl" was released as the album's second single, and achieved a similar amount of success as its predecessor. The song was a hit in the United States, and appeared on the singles chart in the United Kingdom. The album was preceded by the release of Zombie's debut single, " Dragula". Since its release, the album has garnered the title of a "shock rock classic" by numerous publications. The project appeared on multiple charts worldwide, though failed to duplicate the success it had in North America. Hellbilly Deluxe outsold all of Zombie's releases with his former band, and established him as a successful solo artist. The album proved to be a commercial success, reaching the top five of the Billboard 200 and selling over three million copies in the United States. Hellbilly Deluxe was released to a generally positive critical reception, with the album's production being praised.
