Ministry - Primental
This early track predates their chug riff and fascist 808 march sound that they would become known for. While I dig that sound too, I find that it has become rather standardized within the industrial rock cannon. Apparently, Jourgensen claimed that the record company forced them to adopt a synthpop sound while other sources state that Jourgensen simply hadn’t been exposed to more caustic acts at that point in time. Whatever the reason, I think Jourgensen should give himself more credit because this track is top notch.

This is a mash up of The Missing and Deity from Ministry’s 1992 tour.
Sound isn’t the best but it’s a bootleg so it’s as good as it can be.
Turn it up!!
Now playing - Ministry: Twitch
As I continue to listen my record convention picks, I find I am trapped in the mid-eighties thus far, as this one is from ‘86. This was the first Ministry album I ever owned in my younger day. It’s not nearly as well-known as those that came out just a short time later when he got a little more acclaim, but it was my introduction and I was pretty damned obsessed with it.

"o, why can’t i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that’s served?
why can’t they see they’re just like me
i’m not the one that’s so absurd"

Canada for the win, like always!

Double TAP - Ministry
Is ‘Relapse’ really the fastest, heaviest thing you’ve ever done?
Well, it’s pretty cool, that’s all I got to say. It’s pretty cool, it’s not gonna disappoint any Ministry fans or any hardcore fans or anything else like that, there’s a little bit for everyone. I’m glad I did it and I’m glad Mikey talked me into it but I wasn’t really looking to do this album like, “What the hell’s goin’ on?” It’s pretty funny, it’s a pretty good record.
