MINISTRY: Anthology To Include Remixes, Brand-New Song
MINISTRY's Al Jourgensen is currently working on remixes for an upcoming MINISTRY anthology, tentatively dubbed "Rantology", due before the end of the year. In addition, the collection will feature a brand-new MINISTRY track called "The Great Satan", Jourgensen revealed during an online chat on Monday (May 30). Songs scheduled to be remixed for the upcoming set include "NWO", "Bad Blood", "No W", "Stigmata", "Jesus Built My Hotrod", "Unsung" and "Bloodlines". A full transcript of yesterday's chat can be found at MinistryMusic.org.
MINISTRY and its offshoot project the REVOLTING COCKS will be teaming up for a summer 2006 U.S. tour. More information will be made available during the coming months.
REVOLTING COCKS' current lineup includes Jourgensen alongside Phil "Phildo" Owen (SKATENIGS), John Monte (M.O.D., MIND FUNK, DRAGPIPE), Mike Scaccia (RIGOR MORTIS, MINISTRY) and Mark Baker (ex-FEAR, HELLIONS, SHADOW REICHENSTEIN).
Al stated that the working title for the upcoming Ministry album (to be
released around April '06), is Rio Grande Blood (a take on an album by
ZZ Top called Rio Grande Mud).
The upcoming Best of Revco release (from Rykodisc) should be out around
September/Octobor '05 and will be called "Cock and Loaded".
Regarding the upcoming Revco release: six tracks are done, and Gibby
Haynes sings on all but one.
