American Industrial Metal Juggernaut MINISTRY led by Al Jourgensen have announced a co-headlining U.S. tour with experimental rap trio DEATH GRIPS. The tour kicks off at The Palladium in Worcester, MA on October 13 and will hit Pittsburgh, Seattle, and San Francisco before concluding on November 11th at Gas Monkey Live in Dallas, TX.
For decades, the powerhouse of psychotic sound that is MINISTRY has overcome millions with releases such as ‘Filth Pig‘, ‘The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste‘, ‘Psalm 69‘, ‘From Beer To Eternity‘, and a flood of others. Since the 80s, founder Al Jourgensen, has been combining elements of synth pop, punk, metal and even dub in a way that is instantly recognizable and has influenced many other bands. With the legacy intact, MINISTRY will release their 14th album, ‘AmeriKKKant‘, this fall. It is the follow-up to 2013’s ‘From Beer to Eternity‘. Check out the promo video as well as pre-order your copy of the album on Pledgemusic.com.
