The band initially found success in the UK and US with their debut single "She's Not There". Whilst they failed to continue this success in the UK, their follow-up in the US, "Tell Her No", was also a top-ten hit, The band would go on to achieve one further top-ten hit in 1969 with "Time of the Season".

The Zombies recorded two studio albums, Begin Here and Odessey and Oracle , prior to their disbandment in December 1967. A third album was recorded in 1968 after record label CBS approached several of the former members (Rod Argent, Chris White and Hugh Grundy) to record another Zombies album. This album was scheduled for release in 1969, but was cancelled and instead was eventually released in 2000 as R.I.P. . Colin Blunstone, White and Grundy briefly reformed as the Zombies to record an album in 1989. It was initially released in a few European countries in early 1990 as The Return of the Zombies before a reconfigured version was released in the UK the following year as New World . Blunstone and Argent reunited in the 2000s and have since recorded four albums as the Zombies, with the latest, Different Game, released in 2023.
