AL JOURGENSEN Says 'Final' MINISTRY Album Will Be About BUSH's 'Corrupt Administration'

May 26, 2006

MINISTRY leader Al Jourgensen has told Gary Graff of Billboard.com that after MINISTRY finishes its current MasterBaTour, he plans to go right back into the studio for what he says will be "the last MINISTRY album."

"I've got other things to do," Jourgensen explained to Billboard.com. "I just started a label (13th Planet Records),and I want to sign some bands and really build it up like I did with WaxTrax in the '80s, not just a vanity label. I think it's time — and I'll be leaving on the top of my game instead of hanging on too long and doing crappy AEROSMITH and ROLLING STONES albums 30 years later."

Jourgensen, who lives near Waco, Texas, says that like its two predecessors — 2004's "Houses of the Mole" and this year's "Rio Grande Blood" — the final MINISTRY album will be politically minded blast at the administration of President George W. Bush.

"It's a trilogy," Jourgensen said. "The next one's going to be called 'The Last Sucker', and it's also about this corrupt administration. That seems to be my muse; everyone seems to think I write real shitty music when a Democrat's in office. So we'll do that one, and then me and George Bush go riding off hand-in-hand, into the sunset."
