Vuelven Ministry

Charlie Clouser! Joder, yo fui muy fan de este hombre, era remix de NIN, White/Rob Zombie que me flipaba, remix que era suyo.
También dos chicas tocando violín y violonchelo.

En el lado negativo, concierto muy corto de festival, pero supongo que lo previsto de antemano.

But Jourgensen reveals he’s plotting the end of Ministry. He first vowed to retire from touring due to alcohol-exacerbated health issues in 2008 (he unretired in 2011), then said the band would split as a result of longtime guitarist Mike Scaccia’s fatal heart attack in 2012 (they never did). This time is different, though. When we talk, Jourgensen’s facial piercings and dreads are gone: a symbol of his desire to move on and finally “become an adult” at 65.

“I said [Ministry’s 2008 tour] was the last tour because I was puking up blood,” he says. “I had an ulcer which eventually perforated and I died. Then my best friend Mikey died. I said those things for specific reasons, but I’m healthy now and we have a great lineup that’s been together for 10 years. We’re doing great work. But we all feel that we want to wrap it up.”

The final Ministry plans are to release a re-recording of With Sympathy (which the band are playing in full on stage this summer), with the goal of reclaiming those songs and bringing the band’s tenure full-circle, in 2025. Then, Jourgensen will reunite with pivotal ex-bandmate Barker for one final studio album. “Since he’s moving back to LA this year and I have a recording studio, it just makes sense,” he says. “We’re really good friends now.” From there he hopes to focus on scoring films, and finish a degree in history and political science.

Vuelve para un último disco de la banda. Ahora parece que va en serio.
