Ministry - Rantology *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 10th July 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

A bruising antiestablishment spokes thing that hammered away at George W
Bush's America lyric by lyric, song by song. Al Jourgensen stays on message with
2005's Rantology. Using a mishmash of remixed classics, live material, and one new
song, "Great Satan".

Jourgensen has created a shrill blast of aural protest art. All of them are
contextualized to embarrass, to vilify, to indict Bush in the court of Uncle Al. The
famous "I'm George W. Bush, and I approved this message" campaign tag opens the
set, matched to a remix of Mole's "No W"; later he's heard to recite Psalm 23 over a
swirling Wagnerian chorus and steadily building tension. The original "N.O.W." is
remixed here, too, updated to include both President Bushes over the jagged
percussion and Jourgensen's proto- metal yawp. "Stigmata" and "Jesus Built My
Hotrod" are revisited on Rantology, too, but Jourgensen doesn't alter them that much.

That's probably a good thing: they were dirty and vicious enough already. Since he
retooled Ministry as a culture war battering ram, it's been Jourgensen's angriest words and beats that resonate most. The three live selections from 2002's Sphinctour are
sufficiently loud and more than a little creepy. World changers, bad livers, and
progressive punks rejoice: Ministry's pissed-off stamina hasn't abated.
