God of Thunder is an EP by the band White Zombie.
Contents |
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.
The song "Star Slammer", which was originally 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 record.
According to Rob, the band wanted to provoke Gene Simmons with the album cover in order to promote the band. Despite rumors, Gene Simmons never filed any sort of lawsuit or complaint against the band for the cover art of the album.[2] On May 31, 2006, Rob 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."[3] The record has remained popular with fans of the band's later work due to it being stylistically similar to La Sexorcisto.
All lyrics written by Rob Zombie except "God of Thunder" by Paul Stanley, all music composed by White Zombie except "God of Thunder" by Paul Stanley.
