Ministry | The Land of Rape & Honey | Released October 11, 1988 | Produced by Hypo Luxa/Hermes Pan | Sire Records | Album Cover by Brian Shanley & Dog
“The album cover is an electronically processed image of a burned corpse in the Leipzig-Thekla subcamp of Buchenwald. Jourgensen took a picture of the holocaust from a documentary on television and distorted the image himself. It was originally rejected by the record label but they later changed their mind after Jourgensen presented a head of a roadkilled deer he had found on the road. He cut off the head, put it in his truck, drove from Austin to Los Angeles, went into the Sire Records building, threw the deer on the desk of the head of the art department and said, "here's your new fucking [album] cover". 👇

"Desolate District"
SINE
Austin, Texas electronic project SINE have released a new track as a teaser for their upcoming album Mantis. The track features industrial powerhouse Chris Connelly of Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, and his prominent solo career, fame.
It's an excellently enticing track, more of the lush dark electronic soundscapes SINE presented on first album Insomniae. However this track feels a little more polished, and the mix is fantastic. Desolate District has a lovely melancholic allure, a seductive grime that pervades the track. The back and forth of the vocals is well executed, a blend of both sweet and bitter. The track displays a subtle mastery over the elements present in the first album, a bit more comfort and the aforementioned polish with the overall sound. I look forward to the full album, which as of yet does not have an official release date.
You can get the track from SINE's Bandcamp, as well as first album Insomniae and the Injected EP!
