Blu-Ray pressing. 2013 live release from the Industrial innovators. Ministry are back with a set of blistering live material from the final show of their 2012 tour at Wacken Open Air in front of 75,000 screaming fans. Tragically, Ministry's longtime guitarist and Al Jourgensen's best friend Mike Scaccia died less than five months later. Jourgensen says: ''Not only is this a great recording of Mikey at his absolute best performance, in his element, having the time of his life, it's one of the last live official videos of the band ever. If you didn't see the tour, you'll want to catch what you missed. And if you were there, well, you saw a piece of history and it will make a great souvenir - or a great drink coaster.'' With 16 million records sold worldwide, six Grammy nominations and kudos from Industrial and Metal bands including Nine Inch Nails, Slipknot and Korn, Al Jourgensen has earned the title Godfather Of Industrial Metal.

The final show of the band's 2012 "Relapse" tour at
Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany.
Frontman Al Jourgensen was still battling severe
dysentery when he took the stage at Wacken on August 3,
2012 in front of 75,000 screaming fans.
Through sheer willpower,
he was able to hold himself together and perform in
Wacken at his utmost peak with a band of traveling
bandits he considered close friends as well as
gifted musicians.
This is an INTENSE SHOW, not scheduled for the weak
INDUSTRIAL METAL, LOUD, LIVE, and well, Al Jourgensen
