Hey, this is Al Jorgensen from Ministry, and you are listening to The Final Guide.

All right. Hey, everyone. Welcome to episode 302 of The Final Guide, the podcast for record collectors and music nerds.

And today we are super stoked to have on the show, Mr. Al Jorgensen of Ministry, Lard, Palehead, 1,000 homo DJs, and so many more projects.

Today, Al and I, we talk records, music stories, and more.

It's a great chat with one of the most prolific, provocative, and innovative musicians

of the last 50 years.

I mean, with ministry, Al has laid the foundation of much of the music we hear today,

certainly the heavy music, but also pop in these unceasingly rhythmic churns, many of which

grew from the seeds that Al and Ministry have sown long ago. And he's never been coy or

bashful either. Today he talks music, COVID, death, drugs, his master

tapes, and of course the new ministry record, moral hygiene, available October 1st, but you

could pull up a few tracks on streaming services right now, including the first single Good

Trouble, as well as his cover of Iggy and the Stooges track, Search and Destroy, which we talk about today as well.

Now, you could order a vinyl copy of moral hygiene from nuclear blast or forewarn your record store clerks that come October 1st, you're going to want to come into their record shop and ask them for a copy and it would be great

of them to stock it. That's ministry, moral hygiene, pre-order now, and grab the vinyl on October 1st.
