Scaccia, L. Svitek (guitar); M. Balch (keyboards, programming); H. Beno (programming); W. Rieflix (drums).\nPersonnel: Al Jourgensen (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Paul Barker (vocals, programming); Mike Scaccia, Louis Svitek (guitar); M. Bolch (keyboards, programming); Bill Rieflin (drums); Howie Beno (programming).\nThe increasingly heavy sound of Ministry hit its peak in the form of 1992's PSALM 69. Though the industrial band had it roots in dance-pop, frontman Al Jourgensen led the band in a progressively guitar-laden direction beginning in the late '80s, and essentially disowned his more accessible earlier recordings.\nMinistry's dedication to loud, aggressive music is fully on display here with the lumbering opener \"N.W.O.,\" a politically charged track that takes the first Bush administration to task amidst a barrage of rumbling bass, propulsive beats, crushing guitar riffs, and Jourgensen's trademark distorted vocals. Released as a single before the album itself, the rambunctious \"Jesus Built My Hotrod\" proved to be another highlight, with Butthole Surfers vocalist Gibby Haynes sitting in on a session of high-octane absurdity. Throughout PSALM 69, the sonic ferocity is relentless, whether on the break-neck speed-metal of \"TV II\" or the scathing chaos of \"Corrosion.\" Oddly enough, this blisteringly intense outing proved to be Ministry's most successful record, leading to a high-profile stint on the second Lollapalooza tour. One of the heaviest albums ever to achieve mainstream success, PSALM 69 is a snapshot of Ministry at its uncompromising best.","brand":"Ministry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588614877417,"sku":"U5KJPN-ZQSB-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/ministry-psalm-69_OCaRv.jpg?v=1758859674","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/ministry-psalm-69","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
