Ministry - Rantology TRANSLUCENT RED COLOURED 2LP (Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

Expected Release Date: 10-July-2026 - This Pre-order will be shipped on or just before this date. Release dates are subject to alteration.

A bruising antiestablishment spokes thing that hammered away at George W. Bush's America lyric by lyric, song by song. Al Jourgensen stays on message with 2005's Rantology. Using a mishmash of remixed classics, live material, and one new song, "Great Satan".

Jourgensen has created a shrill blast of aural protest art. All of them are contextualized to embarrass, to vilify, to indict Bush in the court of Uncle Al. The famous "I'm George W. Bush, and I approved this message" campaign tag opens the set, matched to a remix of Mole's "No W"; later he's heard to recite Psalm 23 over a swirling Wagnerian chorus and steadily building tension. The original "N.O.W." is remixed here, too, updated to include both President Bushes over the jagged percussion and Jourgensen's proto-metal yawp. "Stigmata" and "Jesus Built My Hotrod" are revisited on Rantology, too, but Jourgensen doesn't alter them that much. That's probably a good thing: they were dirty and vicious enough already. Since he retooled Ministry as a culture war battering ram, it's been Jourgensen's angriest words and beats that resonate most. The three live selections from 2002's Sphinctour are sufficiently loud and more than a little creepy. World changers, bad livers, and progressive punks rejoice: Ministry's pissed-off stamina hasn't abated.

Rantology will be released for the very first time on translucent red coloured vinyl as a limited numbered edition of 1500 copies.
