I first heard this on a John Peel radio show, introduced as “The Fall by Ministry, not Ministry by The Fall”. I loved it so much that I bought the CD single and played it until the disc was scratched to hell.

Ministry is one of those bands that I’m scared to call “industrial” because people love gatekeeping genres, so I won’t; suffice to say they’re industrially metally ish, and Filth Pig, the album this is from, has several bangers including a cover of Lay Lady Lay.

  1. I high key no longer believe in “categories” anyway but that’s a much lengthier post!
