MINISTRY Release cover song/video of The Stooges hit ‘Search And Destroy’


In addition to four decades of incredible original material that spawned a whole new genre of music, industrial mainstays Ministry and creator/frontman Al Jourgensen are also well known for a series of memorable cover songs from Black Sabbath’s ‘Supernaut‘ to Bob Dylan’s ‘Lay Lady Lay‘. The newest tribute is a take on The Stooges’ ‘Search And Destroy’ offering a uniquely slowed down tempo and Jourgensen’s guttural howl that amplifies the song’s wartime critique.

Now, fortunately, they are back to stun us again with their sophomore album, ‘Those We Don’t Speak Of’, which is out on the 3rd of September via Nuclear Blast.
