A new Ministry photo book will be released in December. Ministry: Prescripture The Visual History is a 200 page career-spanning book featuring rare and unseen photos -- some from Al Jourgensen's personal archive -- artwork, commentary/quotes from Ministry band members plus other bands/musicians including Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Ramones, and more.
Some copies of the book come with a bonus 7" featuring an acoustic studio recording of "Everyday Is Halloween" which also features Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction.
Al Jourgensen revealed to Rolling Stone that after years of distancing himself from his "Everyday Is Halloween" synthpop days, he warmed up to the idea of performing the iconic 1985 track after some urging from Navarro. He's since come to almost embrace his past:
“It’s a period of my career I never thought I would revisit, but in the end it was cathartic. After playing it a few times both in North America and in Europe on Ministry’s latest tours, I’ve come to realize what a call to arms it is for teens everywhere.”
Ministry: Prescripture The Visual History ships around December 6th and is available to pre-order here.
