In 1998 I was in love with Ministry. They were the only band I had ever cared about, a love unrivaled by any band since. I’d wear this  shirt with a guy waving an american flag with bloody meat dripping down his head, the cover to their sixth album, Filth Pig. I’d walk around my High School campus with that shirt, a pair of  jnkos, and my discman, blasting hard metal scrapping against synth. Nine Inch Nails was for sellouts, Marilyn Manson was just a kid playing dress up, Deftones were cool, but if you mentioned Korn you were dead to me. I still listen to The Land of Rape and Honey, MInistry’s first departure from the goth synth scene, and think about the old days.
Since high school I mention Ministry with a sense of embarrassment. Their last few albums have been awful and age has not been nice to their rocking. But I found out that they’ve called it quits today, I can’t lie,  I got  emotional. And embarrassed or not, I’d still recommend watching some classic ministry videos.
