First Time Available on Vinyl in the U.S! 180g Vinyl!
The common title for the fifth studio album by industrial metal band Ministry, released in 1992 on Sire Records. The actual title of the album refers to a Greek word meaning "head," and the number 69 in Greek numerals, though Psalm 69 is used for simplicity's sake. The album led Ministry into a more mainstream audience, with the track "Jesus Built My Hotrod" receiving major airplay on MTV and various other music stations.
Ministry is an American industrial metal band founded by frontman Al Jourgensen in 1981. Originally a synthpop outfit, Ministry changed its style to industrial metal in the late 1980s. Ministry found mainstream success in the early 1990s with its most successful album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992) and touring as part of the Lollapalooza festival.
"Like Metallica in overdrive...Wonderfully obnoxious, and therefore nearly perfect." -Dave DiMartino, Entertainment Weekly
"These perverts claim they're not industrial, which is true only in the sense that Led Zeppelin wasn't metal: they may be too good for the category, but that doesn't mean they're not of it. And like Led Zep, they're cold bastards who are worth your time even if you think you don't like what they do, which is toning up your cardiovascular system by running you over with a tank." -Robert Christgau
