Depends which era of White Zombie, and frankly which era of Rob Zombie. WZ's early stuff is really much more thrash oriented, but Astro-Creep and the remix album are not that different from Hellbilly Deluxe. The Sinister Urge was a bit more rock than metal, and Educated Horses and HBD 2 are really not industrial at all. Or good albums.
As for Insanus, there is such a thing as "so bad its good". Insanus is not that thing.
Astro-Creep in my opinion is still part of the classical era of White Zombie. As a result, should not be lumped in with the Rob Zombie era. I have not heard HBD 2 so I can't comment regarding its metal taxonomy but *most* Rob Zombie fans I know consider his solo work to be industrial metal.
Frankly, I am in your boat, I think pretty much it all went downhill post White Zombie which is a shame. I am a big believer that La Sexorcisto is an absolute must listen to metal album.

I actually enjoy Astro-Creep the most of Zombie's work. It was much heavier and darker than Sexorcisto, and I listened to it constantly as a teenager. Blood Milk and Sky in particular I thought was brilliant, and it still holds up very well.
Picked up my new Audio-Technica ES10s today - the short of it is these are DAMN good metal cans folks. Listening to Monolith as I type this on my HM-801, and the sound is great even though they are only a few hours old. They aren't soundstage champs (small and sealed, no real surprise), and I wouldn't recommend them over the DT1350 for classical or jazz listeners, but for metal, oh yeah. The sound right now is sort of a "D" shape, rather than the much more typical "U" shape of most sealed headphones. The bass was overwhelming fresh out of the box, but calmed down quite a bit after only a half hour or so. Unlike the D2000, it doesn't sound muddy or bloated, and it doesn't roll over the mids. If I have a complaint it's that the highs are a little too dark and laid back. They are very forgiving of bright recordings, but I would like just a bit more up top. Hopefully the top end will open up more after more break-in, and I will probably re-cable them as well.
If any of you guys are in the market for a portable headphone, definitely check these out.
I got them from Accessory Jack for $370, which is a decent price. They are quite a bit more efficient than the DT1350 and get plenty loud straight from my Cowon S9 but the sound is a bit closed-in and grainy, and they definitely respond to a better source and amp like the HM-801.
That track sounds like my first band's first demo. GRIM KVLT NECRO ARYSK etc etc...
Twilight! Amazing album! One of my favourite releases of last year. A pretty good headphone album as well! The guitar buzz is soooo intricately layered!
