Ministry - The Land Of Rape And Honey (Video Version)

[@amazonionavalon8252]

Yes yes yes ! I was blasting this out in my bedroom aged 15 and now gyrating to it in my kitchen aged 46 ! Was just trying to explain Ministry to my (66 year old) boyfriend and I said it's kind of industrial music, like a Goth band and not quite heavy metal but to me it sounds more rhythmic and tribal ❤ 🎶 ❤

It was this particular version of the song that absolutely endeared me to Al and his work. While I prefer Ministry in its early days, "Land of Rape and Honey" is still both my favorite song and favorite album by him.

[@amazonionavalon8252]

It's such an evocative, track, bringing together the best of industrial, Goth PLUS ....do you know what? Listening to it in 2022 with my 45 year young ears, I'd say there are some Detroit Techno influences skittering about there also !!! To be frank, I'm still head - bopping to it and just generally enjoying the tits off it full stop really!!! Thank you Ministry ❤

'Rape and Honey' ie Rape of the environment. 'Rape and Honey' ie Corporations allowed to pay fines while admitting no wrongdoing whatsoever. 'Rape and Honey' ie Corporations allowed the same legal 'rights' as private citizens. Yes, the co-opting of the Hebrew/Biblical analogy/reference - 'The land of milk and honey'/'The land of Rape and Honey' may be offensive to some/many but this is a weapon of words/song and should be imbued with respect. One of the most important songs of the last 25 yrs

[@5293278363]

It's really amazing (to me, at least) how completely spiritual/religious this song actually is. When read/heard literally - while they denigrate/satirize the uneducated listener's belief in a Higher Power/God they really celebrate it. 'Step by step, You climb the mountain, You Pray' - Fuck yes. You feel that you have no control over the evils of the world, that you have no earthly control to intervene - and yet you still try, you still have faith. More power to you. You f&^king Rock!!

[@soudoit]

[@EverDownward]

The video version is the first time I'd heard the song, and so I preferred it to the studio version for a good while. They're both about equal now, but I do admit that I think there's some better mixing in this version - like the segment with digital/computer-esque sounds.

[@scorpiontherulez6895]

Name Less there’s just something better about it for me as well. The bass hits harder, it’s more raw, Al’s extra screams and grainy unmixed vocals are brutal, and to top it all off there’s extra “Sieg Heil!” sound bits which are what make the song hit so hard with every chorus.

[@clvrswine]

Ah, yes. Classic Al... The album cover is an electronically processed image of a burned corpse in the Leipzig-Thekla subcamp of Buchenwald. Jourgensen took a photograph while watching a Holocaust documentary on television and distorted the image himself. According to Jourgensen, it was originally rejected by the record label, but they later changed their mind after Jourgensen cut off the head of a roadkilled deer, put it in his truck, drove from Austin to Los Angeles, went into the Sire Records building, threw the head on the desk of the head of the art department and said, "Here's your new fucking album cover."
