The sixteenth full-length MINISTRY album, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES, is out March 1, 2024 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Regimes rise and fall. Stars shine and fade. Trends come and go. MINISTRY lives on. The six-time GRAMMYÂŽ 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 downâeven for a breath. Instead, the bandâ"Uncle Al,â John Bechdel [keyboards], Monte Pittman [guitar], Cesar Soto [guitar], Roy Mayorga [drums], and Paul DâAmour [bass]â cranks out another blast of anthemic industrial metal on its 2024 opus and sixteenth full-length LP, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES [Nuclear Blast Records].
