The duet begin as a new wave syntho-dance band and released several albums along that genre. During the mid 80’s Jourgensen parted ways with George and continued on with Ministry as a solo act. It wasn’t until the late 80’s that Jourgensen partnered up with Paul Barker on bass, brought back the guitar that he learned to play years before, and then added drummer William Rieflin to create the album “The Land of Rape and Honey”. The LP continued Ministry’s success in the underground music scene and is considered by many a classic in the subgenre of industrial metal. Here’s a video originally from the album “The land of Rape and Honey” which was later released live on the album and video “In case you didn’t feel like showing up”

Ministry’s next release was one of (and still is) my all time favorite albums, “The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste”.  Since then, the band lineup has changed several times over with the exeption of Al Jourgensen and Jourgensen (as well as most of the other members) have worked on several noteworthy side projects, the list is just too long to go into.
