I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 21, 2018] Ministry / Chelsea Wolfe

I’ve been a fan of Ministry for decades.  I even liked the first album With Sympathy (and listen to it now more than their hardercore stuff).  But when Land of Rape and Honey came out, it was the most intense thing in the world. It was incredible.

They put out a series of great heavy albums, although by 1999’s Filth Pig either I stopped enjoying it or they just weren’t as good.

So I guess it has been two decades since I cared about Ministry.  However, Al Jourgensen and his band keep touring and, since I’ve seen Slayer now, I thought I should see what a ministry experience is like.

However, I already had tickets to see Acid Mothers Temple and I have been really wanting to see them live, so I couldn’t pass this show up.

My friends really like Chelsea Wolfe, and American singer who combines gothic rock, doom metal, and folk.  I’ve listened to some of her stuff but it never really grabbed me.  Maybe she’s more interesting live?
