| Ministry's career, spanning 25 years and 12 studio albums, can be divided into four periods—early synth pop (With Sympathy, 12" Singles, Twitch), industrial (The Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste, Psalm 69), grungy metal (Filth Pig, Dark Side of the Spoon, Animositisomina), and an anti-Bush trilogy (Houses of the Molé, Rio Grande Blood, The Last Sucker).

He kept the techno aspect of dancing capabilities, but he was the face of the new “industrial revolution”. This movement grew over the course of time to such huge proportions that it spawned such success stories as Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails....full text |
