Los Angeles-based independent record label founded in 1992 by entrepreneur and music fan, [a511570].
Brian acquired his love for the music business by becoming an active participant in the Los Angeles club scene through the 1980/90's. The label was officially launched with three releases, [a11286] (a space rock band from the SF bay area), followed by the release of [a233658]'s "On Parole". The third release, was actually a series of reissues by electronic pioneers [a4654].
They specialize in all genres, including A Capella, Acid, Adult, Aggro Rock, Ambient, Big Band, Blues, Breakbeat, Breaks, Chill, Drum & Bass, Electronica, Experimental, Gothic, Hardcore, Indie, Industrial, Krautrock, New Wave, Oi!, Punk, Reggae, Synthpop and Techno.

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
