MINISTRY Leader AL JOURGENSEN Discusses Writing Process For Upcoming AmeriKKKant Album - "It Was Difficult"; Video

Ministry's new album, AmeriKKKant, the band's first release for Nuclear Blast Records (worldwide), is due out March 9th. Produced by Al Jourgensen, recorded at Caribou Studios in Burbank, CA between January and May this year, and with striking artwork created by Mister Sam Shearon, the psychedelic, politically influenced and very much in-your-face AmeriKKKant's nine tracks are rooted in Jourgensen's unadulterated anger for what's happening in America today: the waning respect for the US Constitution, the growing acceptance of one's opinions replacing facts, the decline of our leaders' sense of morals, ethics and personal responsibility to the country and to their constituents, and the mad man in the White House.

In the new video below, leader Al Jourgensen discusses the writing process for the album:
