Unitron God of Thunder is the fourth EP by industrial/groove metal band White Zombie. White Zombie left their noise rock past behind with the awesome thrash album of Make Them Die Slowly, and this EP starts the groove metal style that would fully develop on the following album.

The EP opens up with a cover of the Kiss song 'God of Thunder'. Speaking of Kiss, I'm surprised Gene Simmons didn't go after White Zombie with Rob Zombie holding Simmons up from the hair. I guess Simmons was too busy deciding when to say rock is dead. Unsurprisingly, it's a pretty good cover tune. It's one of Kiss's classics, and White Zombie makes it their own groovy stomp of a track. However, the two original songs are the highlights. The first of these is 'Love Razor' and despite the title sounding like a cheesy glam metal song, is a killer groove-thrash track. It's an interesting mix of the raw thrash of Make Them Die Slowly and the catchy groove of their next album La Sexorcisto. The final song, 'Disaster Blaster II' is essentially a reworking of 'Disaster Blaster' from Make Them Die Slowly. Instead of the more raw version, 'II' sounds a lot cleaner and a bit more catchy.

Overall, this is a great EP. The albums to follow would expand upon the sound shown here, adding in more samples and groove elements. Hope you found this review helpful, feel free to comment!
