MINISTRY Premieres 'Search And Destroy' video

24 August 2021

In addition to four decades of incredible original material that spawned a whole new genre of music, industrial mainstays MINISTRY and creator/frontman Al Jourgensen are also well known for a series of memorable cover songs from BLACK SABBATHS's 'Supernaut' to Bob Dylan's 'Lay Lady Lay'.

The newest tribute is a take on THE STOOGES’ 'Search And Destroy' offering a uniquely slowed down tempo and Jourgensen’s guttural howl that amplifies the song’s wartime critique.

Today, Rolling Stone premieres the music video for the new single, directed by the iconic Dean Karr (Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Dr. Dre, Velvet Revolver, Rob Zombie).

'Search And Destroy' will appear on MINISTRY’s upcoming 15th studio album "Moral Hygiene", which will be released via Nuclear Blast Records on October 1. With some of MINISTRY’s strongest and most inspired material to date, the 10 tracks are a follow-up to 2018’s lauded "AmeriKKKant" and put forth Jourgensen’s societal manifesto and plea for civilization to get back to a set of standards that lives up to and embraces our humanity.
