Music

The release continued the band's shift to a more groove-oriented sound that had already begun on Make Them Die Slowly, released the same year, and was ultimately established on 1992's La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1.[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.

Release and reception

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.[6] 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."[7]
