MINISTRY | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Regimes rise and fall. Stars shine and fade. Trends come and go. Ministry lives on. The six-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum juggernaut founded and fronted by Al Jourgensen has seeped through the darkest corners of popular culture and infected the mainstream for over four decades, gleefully spewing sonic bile between the cracks of the system's facade. Born in the eighties, they survived the nineties, weathered the turn-of-the-century, and even held on through a goddamn pandemic. However, Ministry shows no signs of stopping or slowing down. The band; Uncle Al, John Bechdel (keyboards), Monte Pittman (guitar), Cesar Soto (guitar), Roy Mayorga (drums), Paul D'Amour (bass) cranks out another blast of anthemic industrial metal on its 2023 opus and sixteenth full-length LP, 'HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES'. The guitars rip, the drums rumble, and Al's as righteously cantankerous as ever about a fucked up world ripe for a boot up its ass.
