Ministry have released their 16th studio album Hopiumforthemasses and followed it up with a video and single for the track “New Religion.” This is the latest single and video Ministry has released hot on the heels of “Goddamn White Trash,” “Just Stop Oil,” and “B.D.E.”
Al Jourgensen states:
“All traditional faiths seem to pale in comparison to our new ‘Deity’ Media.”
Joining Uncle Al to round out the Ministry band lineup is John Bechdel (keyboards), Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto (guitars), Roy Mayorga (drums), and Paul D’Amour (bass). Guest musicians on Hopiumforthemasses include Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz, long-time collaborator and Lard companion Jello Biafra, and Corrosion of Conformity frontman Pepper Keenan.
Ministry are playing new songs from Hopiumforthemasses live on the band’s Spring 2024 tour, which kicked off February 27 supported by Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly.
