MINISTRY's thirteenth album properly named 'Relapse', has been going to war with sales and radio numbers since
its worldwide release via frontman Al Jourgensen's own Thirteenth Planet
Records and AFM Records on March 26th. Having landed at #154 on the US
Billboard's Top 200, #32 on Billboard's Independent Record Chart and #19 on
Billboard's Top Hard Music Chart, Relapse currently stands at #6 on CMJ's Loud
