After the fierce, politically charged HOUSES OF THE MOLE and its companion piece, RANTOLOGY, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen launches another anti-George W. Bush sonic invective with RIO GRANDE BLOOD. Amazingly, this 2006 outing manages to be even more scathing than the aforementioned releases, due to yet another round of strategically placed and cleverly manipulated sound bites (particularly on the pummeling title track) and the added musical muscle of guitarist Tommy Victor, formerly of the revered prog-metal trio Prong, and bassist Paul Raven, a member of industrial-rock pioneers Killing Joke. Further adding to the mix are guest vocals by the always-outspoken Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and Liz Constantine, resulting in Ministry's most dynamic outing since 1992's PSALM 69. Another salvo in Ministry's unrelenting aural assault on the policies of George W. Bush, 2007's RIO GRANDE DUB, as the title implies, presents spacious dub versions of the searing industrial-metal songs from RIO GRANDE BLOOD. Remixed by John Bechdel and Clayton Worbeck, these tracks often prove to be more dynamic than the originals, as revealed on the echo-laden, sample-heavy, and aggressive Rio Grande Dubya mix of the original album's title song. minimize
