Powerman 5000

Musical Group

Powerman 5000 is an American rock band led by vocalist Spider One (brother of Rob Zombie), known for blending nu‑metal and industrial elements with retro sci‑fi imagery. They reached commercial success with Tonight the Stars Revolt!, which produced singles such as "When Worlds Collide" and "Nobody's Real."

Reviews highlight the band's Boston origins, sci‑fi/cyberpunk aesthetic, synth and distortion use, and a stylistic shift across releases (funky and punk influences noted on earlier releases; street rock elements on later albums).

DeBaser's reviews portray Powerman 5000 as a Boston-born rock group led by Spider One with a mix of nu-metal, industrial and punk influences. Mega!! Kung Fu Radio and Destroy What You Enjoy receive strong praise; Tonight the Stars Revolt! is noted as the band's commercial peak with recognizable singles. A recurring aesthetic is retro sci‑fi and synth-heavy, cinematic imagery.

For:Fans of 1990s/2000s nu-metal, industrial rock, and retro sci‑fi aesthetics

 "Tonight The Stars Revolt!" is definitely the commercial peak for Rob Zombie's little brother, Spider One, and his Powerman 5000 (PM5K to friends).

  Discover the review

 Powerman 5000 was formed in Boston in 1989 with very few ambitions, a typical college band designed to make some noise on Saturday night.

 In the end, I can confirm that the Powerman have moved from their old style to a Street Rock'n'Roll, executed perfectly.
