“Ministry. Great rock n roll metal band with that psychedelic little twist. Plus they get inspired by being fucked up on drugs.”Watch this moment

The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste
Ministry
The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste is the fourth studio album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on November 14, 1989, by Sire Records. The music took a more hardcore, aggressively guitar-driven direction, with frontman Al Jourgensen inspired by Stormtroopers of Death and Rigor Mortis to add thrash metal guitars to the album and subsequent Ministry releases. As with most of Ministry's work, the album's lyrics deal mainly with political corruption, cultural violence, environmental degradation, nuclear war, drug addiction, and insanity.
“Hearing Ministry for the first time really affected me because it was the first time I heard aggressive electronic music. It was like rock, but it was electronic. They really fucked with guitar tones running through digital processing and synthesizers.”Watch this moment
