The track comes off the band&#8217;s 15th studio album,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Moral Hygiene&#8221;<\/strong>, which dropped today (Friday, October 1) via\u00a0<strong>Nuclear Blast Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In a recent interview with Australia&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/heavymag.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heavy<\/a>,&nbsp;<strong>MINISTRY<\/strong>&nbsp;frontman&nbsp;<strong>Al Jourgensen<\/strong>&nbsp;stated about the new LP&#8217;s musical direction: &#8220;Same old stuff. Just a progression of the&nbsp;<strong>MINISTRY<\/strong>&nbsp;sound that&#8217;s been refined for the last 30 [or] 40 years. And I think we hit a good one this time. There&#8217;s a couple that I wish I could have back, and there&#8217;s a couple that I&#8217;m really gung-ho about. But this one&#8217;s in the &#8216;gung-ho&#8217; category. This one makes a lot of sense for the times that we&#8217;re living in.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MINISTRY - Disinformation (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NQ7Zgb3YQSU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">As for the lyrical themes covered on&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Moral Hygiene&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Jourgensen<\/strong>&nbsp;said: &#8220;We cover everything \u2014 from the actual pandemic to climate change to the political climate now. And I don&#8217;t mean so much the politicians as much as the rise of fascist tendencies all over the world and in various countries. And a lot of life topics like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The album&#8217;s first single,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Good Trouble&#8221;<\/strong>, was released in early July. The song, inspired by the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and the activist work of the late congressman&nbsp;<strong>John Lewis<\/strong>, was accompanied by a video that includes sampling from last year&#8217;s demonstrations in Los Angeles as captured by&nbsp;<strong>Jourgensen<\/strong>&nbsp;and his partner&nbsp;<strong>Liz Walton<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Moral Hygiene&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;also includes the previously released&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Alert Level&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;that sounded the alarms about our collective dissonance towards the pandemic, climate change and the man formerly in the White House, bolstered by the song&#8217;s overarching question posed to listeners: &#8220;How concerned are you?&#8221; The new album also adds perspective to the countless lives that were tragically lost to the COVID-19 pandemic on the haunting track&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Death Toll&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;while&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Disinformation&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;describes the too frequent willingness to accept everything \u2014 even mistruths \u2014 as fact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MINISTRY\u00a0have unleashed the official music video for their song\u00a0&#8220;Disinformation&#8221;.
