Description
*Deep in the heart of Hell Paso Texas, Ministry’s Al Jourgensen’s studio has been on fire at warped speed for the past year, furiously hammering out The Last Sucker - the monstrous final chapter of the trilogy following 2004’s Houses Of The Molé and 2006’s Rio Grande Blood and Ministry’s final studio release.
*After 12 albums and 27 years (including four Grammy nominations), Uncle Al’s decided the Ministry garage is ready to close its doors, leaving The Last Sucker as the final Ministry studio offering. Welcome to The Last Sucker - Ministry circa 2007. Welcome to the renegade road warrior and chief mechanic Al Jourgensen’s latest behemoth - an off-the-map, piston-encrusted – 12 hundred thousand horsepower vehicle fuel-injected with equal parts fury, disgust, distrust and dismay, spitting and sizzling with grease and venom, each joint heaving under the pressure of emotionally relentless delivery.
*From the first double-digit salvo of ‘Let’s Go,’ with its deliciously bizarre trademark Ministry wasteland brutality, Jourgensen outlays a glorious smorgasbord of Ministry mayhem. Strap on ‘Death & Destruction’ for joyriding thrills, ‘Watch Yourself’ for its distinctive Ministry ‘sample and slam you’ warning, ‘The Dick Song’ for Ministry’s tribute to the current US Veep, and a propane-powered cover of The Doors ‘Roadhouse Blues.’
*Amidst the fury sits the true embodiment of Jourgensen’s creative ethos, ‘The End Of Days’ Pt I and II, featuring Fear Factory’s Burton C. Bell. With thundering rhythm, layers of spoken word, orchestral arrangements EOD I/II embody all the elements of Ministry’s pioneering uniqueness in the world of industrial music, and a fitting swan song from the inventor of a genre.“The Last Sucker” might well be the end of Ministry’s journey…but rest-assured, its chief mechanic and designer has plenty more lead in his pipe.
