HopiumForTheMasses release date
Minstry’s 16th studio album will premiere on March 1, 2024. Industrial provocateur Al Jourgensen says, “Just like you or anybody else, I’m simply a passenger in this lifetime. I’m watching social, political, and economic changes, and I comment on them because I have a First Amendment right. A lot of people say artists and athletes should shut up and play ball. No, I’m on this trip too. If I see something, I say something. That reflects on where each album goes. Instead of staying sedentary and singing about broken relationships, inner turmoil, or whatever is hurting this week, I comment on what’s going on from the perspective of a fellow passenger.”
