God of Thunder is an EP by White Zombie which was released in 1989 by Caroline Records. It was the band's first release with Jay Yuenger on guitar. EP contains "God of Thunder", originally a Kiss song from their 1976 album Destroyer, and "Disaster Blaster II", a reworked version of "Disaster Blaster" from their 1989 album Make Them Die Slowly.[1]

Music

The release was a shift from the traditional heavy metal style of Make Them Die Slowly to the more groove-oriented sound of their next release La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1.

"Star Slammer", which was originally cut from the Make Them Die Slowly recording sessions, was also re-recorded around the time of this EP's release. However, it was left off the EP.

In an interview on Loudwire, Rob Zombie denied making the album cover to provoke Gene Simmons in order to gain press coverage. In fact, Simmons never filed any sort of lawsuit or complaint against the band for the cover art of the album.[5] On May 31, 2006, Zombie fronted a supergroup which performed "God of Thunder" at the VH1 Rock Honors.

Everett True of Melody Maker magazine gave the EP an enthusiastic and unconventional review, stating, "THIS one kicks some serious ass. I think that's all you need to know."[6] The record has remained popular with fans of the band's later work due to it being stylistically similar to La Sexorcisto.
