Regimes rise and fall. Stars shine and fade. Trends come and go. MINISTRY lives on. The six-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multiplatinum band, founded and led by Al Jourgensen, has been percolating through the darkest corners of popular culture for more than four decades, infecting the mainstream by gleefully spewing sonic bile through the cracks of the system’s facade. Born in the Eighties, they survived the Nineties, weathered the turn of the century, and even endured a goddamn pandemic.
MINISTRY shows no signs of stopping or slowing down – not even for a breath. Instead, the band – “Uncle Al,” John Bechdel [keyboards], Monte Pittman [guitar], Cesar Soto [guitar], Roy Mayorga [drums], and Paul D’Amour [bass] – belts out another batch of anthemic industrial metal on their 2023 opus and sixteenth long player, “Hopiumforthemasses.” The guitars crash, the drums rumble, and Al is as righteously cantankerous as ever about a fucked-up world ripe for an ass-kicking.
