About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The Land of Rape and Honey represented Ministry's stylistic breakthrough, combining assaultive percussion, samples, synths, and (sometimes) crunching guitars with distorted, barking vocals. For all the emphasis on the group's metal/industrial fusion, it's really only the first three (and best) tracks on Rape and Honey -- "Stigmata," "The Missing," and "Deity" -- that employ guitars extensively. The remainder of the album merely suggests heavy metal aggression through its electronic and sampled elements; it is far more industrial in feel, even though it's just as dark. Ministry was the industrial band that, more than any other, appealed to metal fans, and it was The Land of Rape and Honey that began to lay claim to that status. Steve Huey, All Music Guide

A Pivotal Album for its Timeby Iain010100

February 04, 2009: At the time this album was released there was almost nothing else like it, the combination of hard angry music, and raw simplicity was unheard of. It was the first of its genre and paved the way for so much that's out there now. This is the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" of the heavy metal/industrial music age.
