Ministry – Bid Farewell with Covers Album and Free MP3

Thursday, March 20, 2008

MINISTRY head honcho Al Jourgensen has enlisted the help of some of metal’s finest for Cover Up. Due out on April Fools Day, the album features covers of some of rock music’s absolute classics – from the likes of Deep Purple, T-Rex, ZZ Top, The Doors, Mountain, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and more. Joining Al for the ride is Ministry and Revolting Cocks guitarist Sin Quirin, Fear Factory front man Burton C. Bell, Revolting Cocks‘ Josh Bradford, Prong vocalist Thomas Victor, and the Hell Paso Mosh Choir. Additional Co-Conspirators include the late Paul Raven, Tony Campos and Wayne Static of Static X, and Echoes and Shadows’ Edu Mussi and Plastilina Mosh.
