Ministry Unleashes Cover Artwork For 'Relapse' + Videos Available of the Making of 'Relapse'!

"While I was working on the Buck Satan record, me and Mike Scaccia from Rigor Mortis fucked around to pass the time and we had like, 5,6,7 songs and I didn't really want to do anything with them but Mikey was like, 'Dude, these songs are awesome.' They weren't country, they were more like Ministry. So he's coming by in September and guitarist Tommy Victor from Prong is coming by in October with bassist Tony Campos from Soulfly (ex-Static X) and we're gonna finish up another Ministry album by Christmas called 'Relapse'."

"I think this is actually gonna wind up being the fastest and heaviest record I've ever done. Just because we did it as anti-therapy, therapy against the country music we would just take days off and thrash faster than I've done in a long time, faster than Mikey's done in a long time. He just did a Rigor Mortis tour and said it was easy compared to this Ministry stuff so it's gonna be brutal and it's gonna freak a lot of people out."
