Ministry released official visualizer, “AmeriKKKa” which is on AmeriKKKant the first new album in five years. The Chicago-bred rock legends shared a new release, ahead of their North American fall tour. The video “AmeriKKKa” features colorful images, including The Statue of Liberty set amongst floating televisions with the message, “Do Not Stay Tuned” – the message clear as we watch footage of soldiers march by and fireworks morph into a nuclear cloud.
“So much great music has been inspired by MINISTRY – NINE INCH NAILS, MARILYN MANSON, ROB / WHITE ZOMBIE, KMFDM – RAMMSTEIN! Back full circle to MINISTRY‘s own influences, like the reborn KILLING JOKE. But there’s still only one Al. No one really does this now except MINISTRY. Somehow, in spite of himself, the Hunter Thompson of Rock is still cranking out really good music and state of the art sound. Is it Trump? The world burning like Rome? I feel another trilogy coming on. This whole assault of an album really feels like it was made in a bunker, with you know who pacing all over his pillbox; half crazy to attack or be annihilated, just to get our whole Trumpamuck nightmare over with. Then what’s around the corner?” – Jello Biafra
