===After disbanding (1998–present)=== After the breakup of White Zombie, Sean Yseult released her first album with [[surf rock]] band The Famous Monsters, having started the band in between Zombie tours. She also started playing bass for horror-themed [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans]]–based band, Rock City Morgue, and briefly played bass for [[The Cramps]]. Tempesta continued his musical relationship with Zombie, drumming for him on his first two solo albums, ''[[Hellbilly Deluxe]]'' and ''[[The Sinister Urge (album)|The Sinister Urge]]''. After leaving the Zombie touring band, Tempesta went on to play for [[Scum of the Earth (band)|Scum of the Earth]]. Tempesta has toured with Testament (as shown on Testament's DVD, ''Live In London''). On February 14, 2006, he was hired as the permanent drummer for [[The Cult]], after a brief stint with [[Helmet (band)|Helmet]]. [[Jay Noel Yuenger|J.]] produced records for [[Fu Manchu (band)|Fu Manchu]] and [[New York City|New York]]–based Puny Human. In July 2006, original members Tom Five and de Prume reunited to perform with de Prume's band, Healer, a middle eastern infused metal band, for several concerts in Southern California for The Vans [[Warped Tour]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=54694|title=Original WHITE ZOMBIE Members Team Up For VANS WARPED TOUR Appearance|publisher=[[Roadrunner Records]]|date=July 6, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100603025147/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=54694|archive-date=June 3, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> De Prume continues to write and record music with Healer, as well as recording, producing and engineering for special projects in his studio, Burningsound. His drums and percussion work can also be heard on Sony's "Ghost Rider" score. In 2009, de Prume began hosting the weekly radio show, "Metalopolis". His studio guests have included [[Rob Halford]], [[Dave Mustaine]], [[Max Cavalera]], [[Vinnie Paul]] and [[Tom Araya]]. De Prume is also a member of the band KREEP, and has completed a West Coast tour in spring 2010, and is planning an East Coast tour in fall 2010. In November 2008, Geffen/UME released ''[[Let Sleeping Corpses Lie]]'', a [[boxed set]] which includes sixty four tracks featuring every White Zombie album and EP (except the remix albums), all remastered. The package also contained nine music videos (including their breakthrough Grammy-nominated hit "Thunder Kiss '65"), and ten live performances. In an interview<ref>{{cite web|title=Rob Zombie: All Boxed Up|url=http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Rob+Zombie%3A+All+Boxed+Up/|publisher=[[SuicideGirls]]|author=Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna|date=December 3, 2008|access-date=December 3, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100603025147/http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Rob+Zombie%3A+All+Boxed+Up/|archive-date=June 3, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> to promote the release of ''Let Sleeping Corpses Lie'', Zombie made it clear that a reunion with his White Zombie bandmates was unlikely, saying, "I don't want fans to think it's the beginning of anything." In December 2010 Yseult released ''I'm in the Band'', a book containing tour diaries and photos as well as detailing her eleven years spent as a member of White Zombie.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://seanyseult.com/the-book/ |title=Sean yseult » the Book |access-date=September 9, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100916071037/http://seanyseult.com/the-book/ |archive-date=September 16, 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=I'm In the Band: Backstage Notes from the Chick in White Zombie: Sean Yseult |isbn=9781593762995 |last1=Yseult |first1=Sean |year=2010 |publisher=Catapult }}</ref> Since the breakup of White Zombie, Rob Zombie has shown little interest in reforming the band. In June 2011, in an interview with ''[[Metal Hammer]]'' magazine, he was asked why White Zombie split up, to which he replied: "It had run its course. Success is a big thing that you can never plan for, because it affects everybody differently. I don't want to blame myself or anyone else in the band — it's just that the band didn't work anymore. Rather than continuing on and making shitty records and having it all fall apart, I thought: 'Let's just end it on a high point.'" Zombie also stated earlier in 2011 that a White Zombie reunion would never happen and he had not been in contact with any members of the band "except [[John Tempesta]] in about 15 years."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/rob-zombie-says-white-zombie-will-never-reunite/|title=ROB ZOMBIE Says WHITE ZOMBIE Will Never Reunite|website=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=February 23, 2011|access-date=November 12, 2019}}</ref> In 2018, Yseult mirrored his comments, saying that, in regards to the breakup, "[she] was definitely ready for [the band] to be over with", and that she stayed in touch with most other band members aside from Zombie.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/sean-yseult-is-not-upset-that-white-zombie-ended/|title=SEAN YSEULT Is Not Upset That WHITE ZOMBIE Ended|date=October 9, 2018|website=BLABBERMOUTH.NET}}</ref> In May 2013, former drummer Phil Buerstatte died.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Marc Hogan|url=https://www.spin.com/2013/05/phil-buerstatte-white-zombie-drummer-has-died/|title=Phil Buerstatte, Former White Zombie Drummer, Dead at 44|magazine=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]|date=May 21, 2013|access-date=May 22, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100603025147/https://www.spin.com/2013/05/phil-buerstatte-white-zombie-drummer-has-died/|archive-date=June 3, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> Shortly after his death, he was impersonated by con-artist Loren Dean Breckenridge III. Breckenridge was previously accused of defrauding rehab centers across the nation, and repeatedly impersonating character actor [[Loren Dean]].<ref>{{cite web |title='White Zombie' impostor sentenced for rehab frauds in Novato, Sausalito |date=May 24, 2013 |url=https://www.marinij.com/2013/05/24/white-zombie-impostor-sentenced-for-rehab-frauds-in-novato-sausalito/ |publisher=Marin Independent Journal}}</ref> In a November 2015 interview with Artisan News, Yseult stated that a White Zombie vinyl box set was due for release in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/new-white-zombie-vinyl-box-set-due-in-2016/|title=New White Zombie Vinyl Box Set Due In 2016|website=Blabbermouth.net|date=November 11, 2015|access-date=December 27, 2015}}</ref> On February 16, 2016, ''[[It Came from N.Y.C.]]'' was confirmed for a June 3 release via the [[The Numero Group|Numero Group]]. The vinyl box set contains remastered versions of all the pre-Geffen Records material (including unreleased tracks) on 5 LPs/3 CDs, a 108-page colored booklet complete with liner notes and rare photos, a discography, and a shirtography. On May 18, 2016, [[Riot Fest]] released their lineups and it was revealed that [[Rob Zombie]] would be performing ''[[Astro-Creep: 2000]]'' in its entirety at the Chicago weekend.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://consequence.net/2016/05/riot-fest-reveals-2016-lineup-and-its-batshit-crazy/ |title=Riot Fest reveals 2016 lineup, and it's batshit crazy |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=May 18, 2016 |website=consequence.net |publisher=[[Consequence of Sound]] |access-date=August 16, 2016 }}</ref> This sparked a swirl of speculation, coupled with the recently reunited [[Misfits (band)|Misfits]], that a White Zombie reunion would also be occurring at the festival. When asked in September 2016 about his refusal to reform White Zombie, Rob replied, "[I am] always amazed at how people can speak with such authority on subjects they know zero about. I have many legit reasons. Just because you don't know them does not mean they don't exist. Everything is not everybody's business."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/rob-zombie-says-he-has-many-legit-reasons-for-not-wanting-to-reunite-white-zombie/|title=Rob Zombie Says He Has 'Many Legit Reasons' For Not Wanting To Reunite White Zombie|website=Blabbermouth.net|access-date=September 20, 2015}}</ref> Guitarist [[Jay Yuenger|J.]] said, however, that he and bassist [[Sean Yseult]] could do an "''Astro Creep'', 'more original members' tour", and added that they "joke about it sometimes".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theprp.com/2016/09/20/news/rob-zombie-says-many-legit-reasons-not-reunite-white-zombie/|title=Rob Zombie Says He Has 'Many Legit Reasons' To Not Reunite White Zombie|website=Theprp.com|access-date=September 20, 2015}}</ref> On May 22, 2017, Rob posted a short snippet of audio, to his Instagram account, of a live recording of the White Zombie song "Electric Head Part 2", with a comment stating he was in the process of mixing the ''Astro Creep 2000'' live set from the Chicago date of the 2016 Riot Fest.
