Toxic misogyny, violence against women, and incels are the latest target\u00a0Al Jourgensen\u00a0<\/strong>takes aim at in the song\u00a0\u201cB.D.E.\u201d (aka \u201cBig Dick Energy\u201d)<\/strong>\u00a0out today, including a spellbinding music video that draws the line on the poisonous behavior seen in both politics and everyday life in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song\u2019s whiplash riffs, barreling drums, punchy keys, and pummeling bass all come to a head in the thrash breakdown mid-song, putting the aggressive talents of Jourgensen <\/strong>and the full band \u2014 John Bechdel<\/strong> (keyboards), Monte Pittman<\/strong> and Cesar Soto <\/strong>(guitars), Roy Mayorga <\/strong>(drums) and Paul D\u2019Amour <\/strong>(bass) \u2014 on full display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says Jourgensen <\/strong>of the track: \u201cThe incel subsect and general misogynistic tendencies in our society are dangerous yet seem to fly under the radar so we figured it\u2019s time to shine a light on it. In true Ministry<\/strong> fashion we battle it with sarcasm\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cB.D.E.\u201d<\/strong> hails from Ministry\u2019s <\/strong>upcoming 16th<\/sup> studio album<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES<\/em><\/strong> (out March 1, 2024 <\/strong>on Nuclear Blast Records)<\/strong> and follows the release of earlier singles  \u201cJust Stop Oil\u201d<\/strong><\/a> and \u201cGoddamn White Trash,\u201d<\/strong><\/a> all of which give a preview of the state of mind of creator and band leader Jourgensen<\/strong> who is cantankerous as ever about a f***ed up world ripe for a boot up its ass. Like always, he’s merely looking around at the same dumpster fire we all are, but he’s got a microphone and uses it well to rage on about the state of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joined by Ministry\u2019s current frontline of musicians,\u00a0HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>also has a slew of special guest contributors including\u00a0Gogol Bordello\u2019s Eugene Hutz,\u00a0<\/strong>long-time collaborator and\u00a0Lard\u00a0<\/strong>companion\u00a0Jello Biafra\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Corrosion of Conformity<\/strong>\u00a0frontman\u00a0Pepper Keenan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
