Background
Powerman 5000, sometimes abbreviated PM5K, is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1991, the group has released eleven studio albums, gaining its highest level of commercial success with 1999's Tonight the Stars Revolt!, which reached number 29 on the Billboard 200 while spawning the singles "When Worlds Collide" and "Nobody's Real". Frontman Spider One, younger brother of fellow metal musician Rob Zombie, has been the only consistent member of the lineup since the band's formation, and the band has long been known for its variability in sound, taking inspiration from rap-rock in the early nineties, sci-fi and metal at the turn of the millennium, punk/nu-metal and industrial through the 2000s, and electronic rock through the 2010s and 2020s.
