Ministry will play the new songs live on a Spring 2024 tour, kicking off February 27, supported by Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly. The vinyl variants include: green with yellow splatter (in stores everywhere) blue with pink splatter (nuclear blast exclusive) red with white splatter (band/tour exclusive). HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES will be available in three vinyl variants, a CD jewelcase and digital/streaming platforms. Joined by Ministry’s current frontline of musicians – John Bechdel (keyboards), Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto (guitars), Roy Mayorga (drums) and Paul D’Amour (bass) – HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES also has a slew of special guest contributors including Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz, long-time collaborator and Lard companion Jello Biafra and Corrosion of Conformity frontman Pepper Keenan. Like always, he’s merely looking around at the same dumpster fire we all are, but he’s got a microphone and uses it well to rage on about the state of the world. “Just Stop Oil” follows the release of earlier single “Goddamn White Trash,” both anchor tracks from HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES (out Maon Nuclear Blast Records) that give a preview of the state of mind of creator and band leader Al Jourgensen who is cantankerous as ever about a f***ed up world ripe for a boot up its ass. Whether you want to play at a casino, test your skill at a poker room, or place some bets on sporting events, we’ve got the knowledge to help you get the most from your money.
