Ministry is an American industrial metal band that was established in the early 1980s by Al Jourgensen. Initially beginning with a synth-focused new wave sound, the band transformed into a harsh, aggressive style that combined industrial electronics with heavy metal guitars, distorted vocals, and political fury. They emerged as pioneers of the industrial metal genre with significant albums such as The Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and Psalm 69. Recognized for their relentless intensity and confrontational subject matter, Ministry played a key role in shaping the darker, more abrasive aspects of alternative and metal music.
