Ministry is an industrial metal band founded in Chicago in the early 1980s by Al Jourgensen. They are known for their aggressive sound, electronic influences, and politically charged lyrics. In 2004, Ministry was at a transitional point in their career, having recently moved to Sanctuary Records and exploring a more streamlined, thrash-influenced sound after a period of electronic experimentation.
