Ministry

Ministry, an American influential Grammy-nominated industrial metal group founded by frontman Al Jourgensen in 1981.

Ministry was originally a synthpop group but changed its style to industrial metal in the late 80s. During the early 90s, Ministry found mainstream success with their album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992). Al decided to retire Ministry in 2008 after 27 years of performing.
