MINISTRY shows no sign of stopping or slowing down... not even for a moment. On the contrary, the band - "Uncle Al", "John Bechdel [keyboards], Monte Pittman [guitar], Cesar Soto [guitar], Roy Mayorga [drums] and Paul D'Amour [bass] releases a new hysterical Metal opus, their sixteenth studio album, OPIUMFORTHEMASSES. The guitars tear apart, the drums explode and Al is as caustic as ever about a world in decline. Regimes rise and fall. Stars shine and fade. Trends come and go. Ministry endures! The multi-platinum mastodon founded and led by six-time Grammy-nominated Al Jourgensen has infiltrated the darkest corners of popular culture and infected the mainstream for over four decades, cheerfully spewing sonic bile through the cracks in the system's facade. Born in the 80s, they survived the 90s, withstood the turn of the century, and even held on through a damn pandemic.
