ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  Although the Ramones might be better known and have 
          generated more headlines lately because they're calling it quits, it
          is still White Zombie that is headlining tonight's concert at the 
          Salem Civic Center. The four-member band has sold more than a 
          million copies of its last two releases, ``La Sexorcisto: Devil 
          Music Vol. 1'' and ``Astro-Creep 2000: Songs of Love, Destruction 
          and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head,'' which yielded 
          the band's signature song, ``More Human Than Human.'' A favorite of 
          MTV's Beavis and Butt-head, White Zombie's formula is a straight-up 
          mix of skulls-and-sluts cartoon excess, trash-compacting noise and 
          haunted-house camp. Formed in New York in 1985, the band is now 
          based in Los Angeles.
