No one will ever accuse Al Jourgensen of not being pissed off at the state of the world, no matter what state the world might be in. Volleying acerbic social commentary from behind an aggressive veil of industrial metal driven by regimented drums, lumbering guitars and walls of samples has been Ministry’s forte since the late 80s.
With the sextet firing on all cylinders after a rigorous post-pandemic touring schedule, the result is Al, backed by his live band, writing and recording album number 16. Not bad for a former heroin aficionado who cheated death as often as the lads down the pub would get together for a kick around, eh?
