About — The artist

Ministry [ˈmɪnɪstɹi] is an American industrial metal band from Chicago. Their music is mainly a fusion of metal and industrial music, with punk influences. They are considered the first industrial metal band. Their music was initially oriented towards new wave/synthpop, before Ministry shifted to industrial metal in the late 1980s. Ministry achieved mainstream success in the 1990s with their album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992) and tours as part of the Lollapalooza festival.

After 27 years on stage, Jourgensen decided to end the band in 2008, and later stated that it would not reunite. However, on 7 August 2011, a reunion was announced, when Ministry confirmed one of their first concerts in four years, at the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2012. Ministry released a new album, titled Relapse, on 23 March 2012, which would be followed by a world tour.
