As the mastermind behind pioneering industrial outfit Ministry, Jourgensen has spent the last four decades using music as a megaphone to rally listeners to the fight for equal rights, restoring American liberties, exposing exploitation and putting crooked politicians in their rightful place—set to a background of aggressive riffs, searing vocals and manipulated sounds to drive it home. As Jourgensen watched the chaos that befell the world during the height of a global pandemic and the tensions rising from one of the most important elections in American history, he seized on the opportunity to write, spending quarantine holed up in his self-built home studio—Scheisse Dog Studio— along with engineer Michael Rozon and girlfriend Liz Walton to create Ministry’s latest masterpiece, Moral Hygiene (out October 1 on Nuclear Blast Records). Anchored by last year’s leadoff track “Alert Level”—which asks listeners to internalize the question “How concerned are you?”—the 10 songs on this upcoming 15th studio album cover the breadth of the current dilemmas facing humanity, while ruminating on the sizable impact of COVID-19, the inevitable effects of climate change, consequences of misinformed conspiracies and the stakes in the fight for racial equality. And most importantly doing so with the lens of what we as a society are going to do about it all. Moral Hygiene comes on the heels of Ministry’s acclaimed 2018 album AmeriKKKant (hailed by Loudwire as Jourgensen’s own “state of the union” address) that was written as a reaction to Donald J. Trump being elected president—though Jourgensen says this new album is more informational and reflective in tone. “With AmeriKKKant I was in shock that Trump won. I didn’t know what to do, but I knew I had to do something. Because I believe if you are a musician or an artist you should be expressing what’s going on around you through your art. It’s going to happen whether you do it consciously or unconsciously. Moral Hygiene however has progressed even further into a cautionary tale of what will happen if we don’t act. There’s less rage, but there’s more reflection and I bring in some guests to help cement that narrative.” In addition to recruiting long-time cohort Jello Biafra (Jourgensen’s partner in the side project Lard) for the quirky earworm “Sabotage Is Sex,” other guest appearances include guitarist Billy Morrison (Billy Idol/Royal Machines) on a rendition of The Stooges hit “Search & Destroy.” Another standout track is “Believe Me,” featuring a throwback vocal style from Jourgensen that harkens back to his singing on Twitch and cult classic “(Every Day Is) Halloween.” The song came out of a jam session with Morrison, Cesar Soto and sampling from Liz Walton, and reminded Jourgensen of his formative days at Chicago Trax Studios where communal ideas were constantly informing early Ministry records. “’Believe Me’ had such an old school vibe I wanted to bring back old school vocals. …It’s funny how things come back to you,” says Jourgensen, also reflecting on Ministry turning 40 in 2021. With the release of Moral Hygiene, Jourgensen is more positive than before. “This may sound crazy but I’m more hopeful about 2021 than I have been in two decades at least,” he says. “Because I do see things changing; people are starting to see through all the bullshit and want to get back to actual decorum in society. We could just treat each other nicely and be treated nicely in return. I never thought Ministry would be in the position of preaching traditional values, but this is the rebellion now.” Artist Ministry Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label Nuclear Blast Buying Options 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Alert Level Good Trouble Sabotage Is Sex Disinformation Search And Destroy Believe Me Broken System We Shall Resist Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Ministry View Product Quick View Ministry HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st March 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES £28.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 4065629701611 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry Animositisomina Metal / Classic Rock | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 12th May 2023 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry Animositisomina £34.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3192 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 12th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry AmeriKKKant Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Nuclear Blast | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry AmeriKKKant £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 0727361427511 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry Enjoy The Quiet – Live At Wacken 2012 Rock And Pop | UDR | 2LP Released 5th August 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry Enjoy The Quiet – Live At Wacken 2012 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UDR SKU: UDR0241LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry With Sympathy Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th December 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry With Sympathy £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1512 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry Dark Side Of The Spoon Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 11th October 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry Dark Side Of The Spoon £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1409C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry Last Tangle In Paris – Live 2012 Defibrillar Tour Rock And Pop | UDR | 2LP Released 7th July 2014 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry Last Tangle In Paris – Live 2012 Defibrillar Tour £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UDR SKU: UDR0354 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry From Beer To Eternity Rock And Pop | AFM Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th September 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry From Beer To Eternity £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: AFM Records SKU: AFMLP462 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 27th January 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP993 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ministry Land of Rape & Honey Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 26th November 2012 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ministry Land of Rape & Honey £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP651 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Ministry Start again More from Metal / Classic Rock View Product Quick View Skid Row United World Rebellion – Chapter One Metal / Classic Rock | UDR | 1LP Released 17th June 2013 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skid Row United World Rebellion – Chapter One £13.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: UDR SKU: UDR0250LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Corey Taylor CMF2 Metal / Classic Rock | BMG | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th September 2023 £28.00 -
