God of Thunder is an EP by White Zombie, released in 1989 by Caroline Records. It was the band's first release with Jay Yuenger on guitar. EP contains "God of Thunder", a Kiss song originally from their 1976 album Destroyer, and "Disaster Blaster II", a reworked version of "Disaster Blaster" from their 1989 album Make Them Die Slowly.
Thus begins, a more familiar version of White Zombie, even though it's only a mere taste of what was to come. Here we have the La Sexorcisto lineup in place, with guitarist Jay "J" Yuenger making his debut. And it's fun…but somehow you know the score in advance. From now, Rob's brand of calculated shock and awe is what rules the day, over and over, even on this short, three song EP, where the cover of "God of Thunder" is cartoonish shuck and jive, and the remaining two tracks are really just haunted hayride exhibitions. I give'em credit for finally finding their niche, but it's a predictable one.
