Remember the Alamo?

"I've given up hiding and I've started to fight..." Everyday is Halloween by Ministry

They marched on since then... I went to see what this '90's dance-club phenomenon has been up to, recently...
I found a copy of Ministry's album "Rio Grande Blood..." That's what it says on the cover...
"I'm the Ministry of Death... I'm a Marine... I'm Hard... I'm Trained... I'm part of a Brotherhood... No Hackers Allowed..." says Sgt. Major on the album...
Ministry opens assault at the Alamo... Showing ranks as a super-act with what seems to be at least 11-23 Guitars and one Super-Drummer... We usually refer to one section of like instruments and some drum-work as the genre Hardcore...
From the Stealth-Bomber assault vs. Senor Peligro... To the missile-assault on 9/11... To the U.S. Cavalry riding off to Khyber Pass, Afghanistan... This is one of the most beautiful Heavy Metal war-albums I can think of!
Listen to this American Western from Ministry... "Rio Grande Blood, Yo!"
Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Sincerely,

Ministry were one of my 3 favorite bands, for about a decade, but this stuff from their No-W years is terrible!
Did you really just say that you didn't know what they were up to? For 30 years ? Including becoming a platinum selling, major label act? Or did I read that wrong?
Now, the Wax Trax Singles, With Sympathy, Twitch-that's the ticket!
My top five, at this moment;
1-Filth Pig
2-Twitch
3-Animositisomina
4-In Case You Didn't Feel Like Coming (live)
5-With Sympathy

RevCo, too. 8)
