About Ministry

Soon, he joined as new wave band "Special Affect." With their new line up the band was renamed as "Ministry." The band issued their debut album "Cold Life" with the Wax Trax. It was more about the synth pop/dance style. In 1983, their next record was issued under the major label Arista. Though Jourgensen was not happy with it and went on to record several singles to contribute in his side project the Revolting Cocks. The year of 1985 saw the release of Ministry's next album. It was released by Sire Records. In 1987, Jourgensen revamped the band with former Blackouts bassist Paul Barker and his fellow ex-Blackouts Mike Scaccia (guitar), William Rieflin (drums) and vocalist Chris Connelly.

With this new line up the band released their next album "The Land of Rape and Honey." This release proved to band's stylistic breakthrough with explosive fusion of industrial dance beats, heavy metal and punk aggression. This successful album was followed by "The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste" in 1989. To support this release the band embarked on an exhaustive tour.

In late 1991, the band released the single "Jesus Built My Hotrod," which was a driving rocker featuring some manic nonsense vocals by Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers. Soon the band issued their full length album "Psalm 69" which consists of few Greek symbols and letters. Soon, the record reached the Top thirty and eventfully went platinum, producing two other smash MTV hits with "Just One Fix," and "N.W.O." In 1999, the band released their next album and the smash hit single "Bad Blood" was featured in the sci-fi special-effects blockbuster Hollywood flick "The Matrix."
