FIREBALL MINISTRY Films 'Butcher, Faker, Policy Maker' Video

June 8, 2010

Acclaimed Los Angeles group FIREBALL MINISTRY shot a video for its new single, "Butcher, Faker, Policy Maker", late last month in Northern California. The performance–based clip was directed by Brandon Trost, who helmed the video for "Sundown" off the group's previous album, "Their Rock Is Not Our Rock" (Liquor & Poker).

"For the new video, we were just playing and rocking and doing what we do, says Rev. James A Rota. "Brandon wanted to make a video that was reminiscent of the cinematography of (the movie) 'Raging Bull'. Most of us in the band are pretty bullish, so it worked out well."

FIREBALL MINISTRY released its self-titled fourth album this spring on Restricted Release. For the CD, FIREBALL MINISTRY re-teamed with renowned producer/engineer Andrew Alekel (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, FOO FIGHTERS) whom they'd previously tapped for production work on "FMEP" (Bongload) and "The Second Great Awakening" (Nuclear Blast).

"Fireball Ministry" was recorded at Grandmaster in Hollywood, with additional vocals tracked at Dave Grohl's Studio 606. It marks the group's first release without a traditional label.
