Ministry From Beer To Eternity

2013, From the schizophrenic opening cut, the sarcasm-dripping, sound effect-laden ,,Hail To His Majesty" to the thrash-punk riffs and booming bass reverberations of ,,Punch In The Face", FROM BEER TO ETERNITY pulls no punches, sounding at once familiar, yet completely fresh and inspired. No one wrestles victory out of the clenched jaws of defeat quite like Ministry leader Al Jourgensen. Heading into the studio to produce Ministry's 13th official studio album, FROM BEER TO ETERNITY, he and all the members of his team were beside themselves grieving the sudden and unexpected death of their longtime guitarist Mike Scaccia on December 22nd, 2012. Last December, Scaccia worked with Jourgensen, guitarist Sin Quirin, drummer Aaron Rossi and bassist Tony Campos on a full batch of new Ministry songs. They finished the rough tracks on December 19th, 2012. Three days later Scaccia died from a heart attack he suffered onstage while playing a live show in Dallas to celebrate their vocalist Bruce Corbitt's 50th birthday.
