Deep in the heart of Hell Paso, Texas, Ministry s Al Jourgensen re-opened the doors of his industrial compound studio in Fall 2011 and invited his favorite co-conspirators, Mike Scaccia (Rigor Mortis), Tony Campos (Static X), Tommy Victor (Prong) and Casey Orr (Rigor Mortis/Gwar) to climb on board the Ministry pirate ship and de-construct and re-construct Jourgensen s monsterpiece, Relapse. Thirty years and 12 albums later, as well as a near-death experience in 2010, Jourgensen rises as a phoenix from the ashes with Relapse - still angry, still political and very, very pizzed off.

Relapsing back into the music industry after a four-year hiatus, Jourgensen launches his audio assault with Ghouldiggers, a no-holds-barred Metal bullet aimed directly at the pitfalls of the industry he has survived. Everything Jourgensen predicted on Houses of the Molé, Rio Grande Blood and The Last Sucker has transpired and as we approach the Mayan calendar of the End of Days in 2012, Jourgensen, re-invigorated by the global 99 Percenters and Occupy Wall Street movement, navigates through Relapse once again as a reluctant prophet accusing, dissecting, cajoling and exhorting greed, corruption and lies. Reaching back to his Punk roots, Jourgensen and his Ministry pirates cover S.O.D s United Forces a track written 20 years ago still relevant today as a call to arms for the unrighteous and to those who feel disenfranchised by the system as it stands today.

Sited as the driving force behind a cross-section of Metal genres, from Industrial to Thrash and Nu Metal and receiving six Grammy Nominations, Jourgensen returns with his greatest achievement to date with Relapse. Leave it to Jourgensen to make a comeback with a Relapse!

Reissue of the industrial outfit’s 1988, their first real commercial breakthrough (it reached #164 on the Billboard Top 200) after dabbling in synth pop during the beginning and middle of the ‘80s. Led by Al Jourgensen, this rougher, tougher almost metallic version of Ministry opened the doors for other industrial bands including Nine Inch Nails.

Deep in the heart of Hell Paso Texas, Ministry’s Al Jourgensen’s studio has been at warp speed for the past year, furiously hammering out the third and final edition of the trilogy, The Last Sucker follows 2004’s Houses Of The Mole and 2006’s Rio Grande Blood. After twelve albums and 27 years (including four Grammy nominations), Uncle Al’s decided the Ministry garage is ready to close its doors, leaving The Last Sucker as the final Ministry studio offering. Welcome to the renegade road warrior Al Jourgensen’s latest behemoth an off-the-map, 12 hundred horsepower vehicle. Fuel-injected with equal parts fury, disgust, distrust and dismay, spitting and sizzling with grease and venom, each joint heaves under the pressure of emotionally relentless delivery. From the first double-digit salvo of ‘Let’s Go,’ with its deliciously bizarre trademark Ministry wasteland brutality, Jourgensen outlays a glorious smorgasbord of Ministry mayhem. Strap on ‘Death & Destruction’ for joyriding thrills, ‘Watch Yourself’ for its distinctive Ministry ‘sample and slam you’ warning, ‘The Dick Song,’ for Ministry’s tribute to the current US Veep, and a propane-powered cover of The Doors ‘Roadhouse Blues.’
