October 18, 2005

MINISTRY's new studio album, "Rio Grande Blood", is on track for an April 2006 release via MINISTRY mainman Al Jourgensen's 13th Planet label. Jourgensen recently told MTV.com that he's planning on finish working on the material for "Rio Grande Blood" by Christmas. At least three tracks have been completed at this point: two as-yet-untitled cuts and "The Great Satan", which appears on the just-released "Rantology", a collection of well-known MINISTRY tracks Jourgensen revisited and remixed to commemorate the band's 25th year in the biz.

Jourgensen's also planning on releasing an album in February from his 19-year-old side project, REVOLTING COCKS, called "Cocked and Loaded". The disc will feature the talents of Jello Biafra (ex-DEAD KENNEDYS),ex-BUTTHOLE SURFERS frontman Gibby Haynes, ZZ TOP guitarist Billy Gibbons and CHEAP TRICK guitarist Rick Nielson. The disc will boast 11 tracks, including "Purple Head", "Prunetang", "Pole Grinder", "Dead End Streets" and "Jack in the Crack".

Both the MINISTRY and REVOLTING records will precede Jourgensen's 54-date MasterBaTour, which is slated to kick off on May 5 in Houston and run through July 14 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; MINISTRY, the REVOLTING COCKS and Detroit-based goth-rock act SPYDER BABY are on the bill.
