Zombina & The Skeletones - Death Valley High Zombina & The Skeletones

Zombina And The Skeletones' self-released second album from 2006 is a campy, schlocky concept album detailing a sci-fi high school massacre. It’s Carrie goes to Nukem High. It’s John Hughes as guest director on Tales from the Crypt. It’s 13 short n’ snappy pop-rockers full of a million crazy ideas, recorded on zero budget in a little house in Liverpool in the early 2000’s… AND IT'S BACK!

Let 9x9 Records be your chaperone to the bloodiest school reunion of the century as “Death Valley High” returns Halloween 2026, on vinyl for the very first time!

Of all the records in their 28 years, this may actually be ZATS' most deserving of the tag “cult classic”, having seemingly taken on a life of its own independently of the rest of the catalogue, with new generations of fans following the breadcrumb trail within the lyrics and the accompanying collaged artwork as they theorise their own interpretations of the enigmatic storyline hidden within Death Valley High’s 13 tracks.

This new edition from 9x9 Records features an expanded version of the artwork, bringing even more clues to light, plus “What Happened To Baby Janie?” a bonus CD containing a never-before-heard early draft of the album with some interesting differences.
