MINISTRY The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste Back Patch

1989, and Al Jourgensen decided that metal wasn't aggressive enough, so he fed it through an industrial grinder and released The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste. It remains one of the most viscerally unpleasant compliments anyone has ever paid to a record.

Ministry at this moment were the bridge between the underground and something genuinely difficult, before Nine Inch Nails made industrial palatable, before the genre had a demographic. This was for the weird kids, the ones reading Burroughs and going to noise shows and coming home with ringing ears and a sense of righteous dread. If your battle jacket is leaning dark, grinding, and gothic, this patch belongs there. Industrial, metal, punk, it doesn't care about your genre walls.

Official licensed sew-on woven back patch. Approximately 300mm wide x 365mm tall.
