The track is a "Frankenstein’s monster" of industrial programming, heavy riffs, and B-movie horror.
Released on April 11, 1995, as the lead single from White Zombie’s final studio album, Astro-Creep: 2000 , "More Human Than Human" isn't just a song—it’s a grimy, industrial-metal time capsule. It pushed Rob Zombie and company into the mainstream, peaking at number six on the Billboard 200 and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance.
: The infamous moaning that opens the track is actually a sample from the 1982 post-apocalyptic cult film Café Flesh .
: The song is built around a distinct, consistent sliding guitar figure that gives it a "toe-tapping funk" and groove metal feel.
: The title and lyrical themes are heavily inspired by Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and its film adaptation, Blade Runner . "More Human Than Human" is the official motto of the Tyrell Corporation , the creators of the replicants. The Visual Chaos The White Zombie Edition - by Colin Nagy
