The Masterba_Tour_ is the Al Jourgensen show. Headlined by Ministry and also featuring Jourgensen’s longtime side project, Revolting Cocks, it’s an evening of industrial, experimental metal, and mayhem. Jen Cray finds herself front and center.

Houses of The Mole (Sanctuary). Review by Jorge C. Galban.

Spend an hour with Al Jourgensen and you’re guaranteed to get a lot of dirt. But probably not quality dirt, like Gail Worley digs up. Reissues, the parting of ways with Paul Barker, and the dreaded Curse of Seattle – get a fresh pack and pour the wine for this one.

Martin Atkins leads the revolving mayhem of Pigface and Gail Worley finds out why the heaviest drummer in the land doesn’t play drums much anymore.

The 5ifth Column (Underground Inc. / Cracknation). Review by Matthew Moyer.

Ink 19 is proud to host a roundtable discussion on the significance of Andrew W.K. Is he pop’s first “demi-ironist,” or does he just plain “suck”? Christopher R. Weingarten, M. David Hornbuckle, and Ned Davis explore the possibilities in a spirited debate.

Flow (Thirsty Ear). Review by Nathan T. Birk.

Industrial godheads Ministry are in the midst of a resurgence with a Greatest Fits album and an appearance in the summer blockbuster, A.I. Kiran Aditham talks with Paul Barker about label politics, soundalike bands, and why Filth Pig is the band’s greatest triumph.

You could call it an industrial supergroup: Martin Atkins, Chris Connelly, Jah Wobble, and Geordie Walker bring together decades of experience in bands like Pigface, Killing Joke, Public Image Limited, Ministry, the Revolting Cocks, and more, and start a new project, the Damage Manual. drew West gets the story straight from Atkins himself.
