As we learned from Uncle Al’s biography (Reviewed by us here ), Master Jourgensen tends to do everything ass backwards. It should come as no surprise then that first single “PermaWar”, off of Ministry’s upcoming final album From Beer To Eternity, is a slab of nostalgia-fueled heaviness that at times hearkens back to the band’s early goth days (Especially the chorus). In the vein of Relapse but a little more in tune with “Lieslieslies” and the more political Rio Grande Blood […]

Metal Monday Volume 132 (7.22.13)
I knew this book was going to be fun when in the opening foreword, co-writer Jon Wiederhorn stated that Uncle Al’s trials and tribulations “makes Motley Crue’s The Dirt look like Goodnight Moon“. And it really, really does! Ministry: The Lost Gospels According To Al Jourgensen is a must-have for Ministry and rock bio fans because when it comes to Jourgensen, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just a saying it’s a way of life. As a longtime fan […]
Metal Monday Volume 102 (12.24.12)
I was originally going to use this week’s column to list my favorite shows of 2012. Then I decided to go with a holiday theme and focus on Old Man Gloom’s Christmas.

The Blerd13 with…Nachtmystium!
The Blerd13 gets a twofer from Nachtmystium as Blake Judd and Sanford Parker discuss the band’s upcoming album Silencing Machine, touring plans, and being one of the most diverse Black Metal acts around.
The Blerd13 with…Tommy Victor of Prong!
Another Blerd13?!?!?!? 2012 keeps bringing the hits as we managed to get Prong’s mainman Tommy Victor on the phone to talk about the latest album, making it in the music industry, and working with some of heavy metal’s more eccentric personalities: 1. To say that Carved Into Stone is the definitive Prong record is kind of an understatement after hearing it repeatedly over the last 24 hours. With the amount of albums and artists you’ve been involved with over […]
