    Ministry meaning & definition 1 of Ministry.


  • Highly influential Industrial Metal act, with the core members being Al Jourgenson and Paul Barker. During the early 80s, it was just Al, and he was ripping off bands like [Depeche Mode]. Around 1986, though, he decided to go for a darker synth style. Then Barker joined and the rest as they say is history. Very active during the 80s and early 90s, but then they took a break. Recently Barker has left the band, but Jourgenson backed by a new band, is making music more frequently again. Their lyrics often attack politicians and religious fanatics.

    Ministry meaning & definition 4 of Ministry.


  • Since there seems to be no fucking decent definition of Ministry that is clear and unbiased in just its description ([seriously guys]?) Im going to add one.
    Ministry was an influential [post-industrial] band, formed in 1981 as a synthpop group, releasing a record titled With Sympathy that was received mostly well. In the mid 80s, the group transitioned. [Synthpop] to [EBM]. They released an album called Twitch, which again was well received. Then came their most experimental and lauded work: The Land of Rape and Honey, which paved the way for Ministry to be a prolific post-industrial band. Before recording this, [Al Jourgensen] dropped his faux British accent. The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste is often considered to be a fantastic example of an Industrial Metal style Ministry. However, this was short lived: in the early 90s after a falling out with some kid named [Trent Reznor] (who Im only bringing up because you guys cant seem not to) who Al had befriended and worked with, Ministry released an album that begun to alienate the audience, called Psalm 69. Its style was different, bearing a Thrash Metal tinge with Industrial Metal framework. It was in this same year, 1992, that Nine Inch Nails Broken released. Regardless of your feelings about either work, they were not only the records to bring Industrial Metal/Rock into the spotlight, but they opened doors, and a lot of you fuckers probably wouldnt know about any of this music before this point.
