"Cover Up" By Ministry
“We don’t just bitch about Bush and global oligarchies. We’re still a rock band and ‘Cover Up‘ is Ministry’s party album”
said Ministry’s Al Jourgensen about “Cover Up“, recorded by Ministry and ‘Co-Conspirators’. The album was set for an April Fools Day release.
“Cover Up” simply is one of the hottest, nastiest rock ‘n roll albums ever recorded and sees Jourgensen and ‘Co-Conspirators’ as paying tribute to some of the most memorable rock songs as well as to the artists who first laid them down, I.E.:
- DEEP PURPLE,
- T.REX,
- ZZ TOP,
- THE DOORS,
- MOUNTAIN,
- BOB DYLAN,
- THE ROLLING STONES and more.
Playing on the “Cover Up” title, Jourgensen has injected himself into various conspiracy theory photographs throughout the release’s artwork. (Which is why this band is one of my favorites).
In addition to fellow Minstry guitarist Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), Jourgensen enlisted an impressive group of ‘Co-Conspirators’ for “Cover Up” which includes:
- Fear Factory frontman Burton C. Bell (also of Ascension of the Watchers) sings on The Rolling Stones‘ - “Under My Thumb“,
- Josh Bradford of the Revolting Cocks‘ provides his bag-pipes for Golden Earring’s -”Radar Love“,
- Prong’s vocalist Thomas Victor lends his vocal skills to the song “Space Truckin” by Deep Purple, just to name a few in this album
Additional ‘Co-Conspirators’ include the late Paul Raven (Ministry, Killing Joke), Tony Campos and Wayne Static (STATIC-X), Edu Mussi (Echoes and Shadows), as well as Plastilina Mosh.
“Cover Up” will also include Ministry’s cover of “Roadhouse Blues” by The Doors which is also found on “The Last Sucker” release of September of last year (2007). All tracks are said to be culminating in Jourgensen’s personal punk rock rendition of Louis Armstrong’s hit; “Wonderful World“.
As Always, Here is A Fix.
