Starting at the end of February, industrial metal icons Ministry will begin touring for their upcoming sixteenth studio album HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES. The tour will be rounded out by synth pop legend-turned industrial titan Gary Numan and electro-industrial pioneers Front Line Assembly. The three did a brief tour together last year, but 2024 will see them performing at over twenty-five shows throughout North America. Uncle Al himself says, “So looking forward to doing another tour with Gary and the gang. We had such a blast the last time. The shows were amazing. Each band complements the other perfectly. Plus, both of our new releases are Kick Ass! Get your tickets and come join us.”
After the release of their 2021 album Moral Hygiene, the new album by Ministry (Al Jourgensen on vocals and guitar, Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto on guitar, Paul D’Amour on bass, John Bechdel on keyboards, and Roy Mayorga on drums), finds them collaborating with the likes of Eugene Hütz (Gogol Bordello), Pepper Keenan (Corrosion Of Conformity), and long-time Jourgensen cohort Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys and LARD with Jourgensen).
The tour begins on February 27th here in San Francisco at The Warfield. If you like your music loud and peppered with samples and multiple guitars pummeling you over the head, then you know what to do. You can buy tickets here.
