Ministry is the brainchild of Al Jourgensen. Beginning in 1981, playing synth-pop with a strong disco influence, they released their first 12" on Wax Trax! Records, before being signed to Arista and releasing their debut "With Sympathy," in 1983. After a falling out with the label and the direction of the project, Jourgensen returned to Wax Trax! to release a series of 12" Singles, including "Everyday Is Halloween," which became an instant club favorite and would go on to become one of the band's most popular songs.

Jourgensen then signed to Sire/Warner Bros. Records in 1985. Ministry's second album "Twitch," was produced by Adrian Sherwood, and had a more menacing sound reflecting Jourgensen's interest in the international EBM (electronic body music) scene of the time. Ministry's third album, "The Land of Rape and Honey," (1988), was both a natural evolution of their aesthetic and a sharp break with previous pop tendencies and, with the arrival of Paul Barker and other new members, Ministry's sound developed into a crossover between EBM, industrial, and heavy metal.

Their experimentation with heavy metal continued with subsequent albums like "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste" (1989) where guitar took on much more importance to their sound. Ministry's breakthrough album, "Ps

Ministry formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1981, by singer, producer and multi- instrumentalist, Al Jourgensen. releasing their debut With Sympathy in 1983. By the end of the 1980s Ministry had morphed from their original synth-pop sound to become pioneers of industrial metal.

2002’s Sphinctour captured their live sound across a series of dates on their 1996 tour to support the Filth Pig album; recorded straight to DAT tape from the mixing desk, without any further mixing or studio trickery. Al Jourgensen was joined on this tour by long-time Ministry collaborator Paul Barker on bass, Reynolds Washam on drums, Duane Buford on keyboards, Zlatko Hukic on guitar and Louis Svitek on guitar. The 11-track live album includes ‘Psalm 69’ from the Elysée Montmartre in Paris, ‘Just One Fix’ taken from the famed Aragon Ballroom in their hometown of Chicago and ‘NWO’ at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

Their ninth album, Houses Of The Molé saw the band move away from a purely industrial sound to a more thrash metal style. Anti-George Bush in theme, Ministry mainstay Al Jourgensen saw it “as something of a rebirth”, being the first for some years to not feature Paul Barker.

The band’s final release for the label was 2005’s remix compilation, Rantology which included one new track, ‘The Great Satan’, which is joined by unique updated mixes of Ministry classics ‘NOW’, ‘Stigmata’ and ‘Jesus Built My Hotrod’, featuring the Butthole Surfer’s Gibby Haynes.
