Yes, this is a post for that Ministry, and not any new band that’s decided to call themselves that - yet, because yours truly is a former high school-era confused goth/rivethead/raver, and just had to write something (anything!) up on one of his favorite bands of all time, and since head honcho ‘uncle Alien Jourgensen’ has been putting out unreleased early material and remixes for free download, and now has a box set called the Ministry Trax! Box coming out on record store day through Cleopatra, the timing was just right.
Ahead of the box set, either Hypo Luxa himself or Cleopatra has put out this remarkable unreleased track from 1983 called “The Game Is Over,” Ministry’s With Sympathy era, and its sure to please fans of this particular iteration of the massively influential industrial act.
