Al Jourgensen, six-time Grammy nominated godfather of industrial metal, will release his band Ministry’s 13th studio album,Ā From Beer To Eternity, on September 6 (13th Planet Records).
They’re supposed to be funny & wild, and push the limitations of the members’ main gigs. But this is just more mediocre Ministry, and that’s Ministry’s job.
Aside from bombast and a drum machine on crack, the arrangements aren’t much different. Ministry can sing, and don’t have to dumb down “the hard parts.”
Striking cover, great title, summing up the lyrical venom Jourgensen is hurling at the Bush administration, o’er music that is fast, thrashy, and abrasive.
