Astro-Creep: 2000 - Songs Of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head (or simply "Astro-Creep: 2000") was released in 1995 by White Zombie through Geffen Records. The album was highly anticipated due to the surprise success of the band's previous release La Sexorcisto. The entire album took three months to write and another three to record.

Ivan DePrume, the drummer on La Sexorcisto, had left the band to start Burningsound studios during their touring sessions for that album. The band later recruited former Exodus and Testament drummer John Tempesta for the recording of this album. Also they had hired Terry Date (Deftones, Pantera, Soundgarden) to produce Astro-Creep: 2000 for them. This album is in fact their last original work, as Supersexy Swingin' Sounds is merely a remix of this album.

Musically, this album is much heavier than La Sexorcisto, taking away much of the old punk/metal stylings of the previous album in turn for a heavier, darker thrash metal based sound, or, as it has been called, "white-trash-on-acid metal". The band also down-tuned the guitars and bass to give it the darker sound the songs required, going from standard E tuning to dropped C# (1.5 steps below standard E). Much of the lyrics are also darker and more disturbing than on the previous album, and are arranged more like twisted poetry than La Sexorcisto's pseudo-rap scores, dealing with murder, the undead, blasphemy, Satanic elements, and other such topics.

The album is White Zombie's best-selling album, being certified Double Platinum by the RIAA and selling over 2,600,000 copies in America since its release. There was a limited 50,000 pressings of this album on see-through blue vinyl.
