Editor's review
As protest music, metal is about as linear as it gets. High decibels and primal yells equal anger at government. But with its new remix of "Rio Grande," Ministry culls the advantages of dubs and samples. Industrial beats, thick reverb, and Big Brother monotones embody police-state paranoia.
Biography
The long awaited dance/club remix of Ministry’s 2006 release Rio Grand Blood is here. The new album, entitled Rio Grande Dub(ya), will be released on July 10th through 13th Planet Records.
The album finds DJs John Bechdel (Fear Factory, Prong, Ministry) and Clayton Worbeck (Revolting Cocks) lending their hands as remixers to ten Ministry tracks from Rio Grand Blood, including the 2006 Grammy-nominated track “Lieslieslies” (remixed here as the Cognitive Dissonance Mix) and the 2005 Grammy nominated track “The Great Satan” (remixed as the What Would Satan Do Mix).
Rio Grande Dub(ya) salutes dub grandmasters of an earlier era while blending modern beats and remix formulas, reminiscent of lead singer Al Jourgensen’s first imprint Waxtrax! Mystical, fascinating and highly danceable – an ingenious collusion of old and new. Ministry conjures up a mix of politically charged metal that ultimately blasts the current administration. One listen to this album will make it evident why Ministry has a robust fan club, known as the Piss Army, of more than 60,000 members.
