Now, he's gonna push other artists through 13th Planet Records. Ministry is an American industrial metal band founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1981 by producer, singer and instrumentalist Al Jourgensen.Originally a synth-pop outfit, Ministry evolved into one of the pioneers of industrial metal in the late 1980s. If you're a fan of rabid, angry, fast and thunderous music, this a is a cd you definitely have to buy. After spending four acidic years croaking out songs that damned George W. Bush and his administration, Al Jourgensen put his Ministry project to rest with the new album The Last Sucker plus this compilation of cover tunes, which was fittingly released on April Fools Day.

The band's lineup has changed frequently, leaving Jourgensen as the sole original member left in Ministry. The Cover Up cd is the last chapter in Al Jourgensen's main musical project. Good work in the covers, and the special guests list is brilliant.
