Ministry was the TropeMaker for the genre of IndustrialMetal back in TheEighties and helped popularise it along fellow {{Trope Codifier}}s NineInchNails. Both bands also have something else in common, [[IAmTheBand having just one mastermind and constant member]]. In Ministry's case, this is a man named Al Jourgensen.

The band was formed in [[TheWindyCity Chicago]] in 1981. Their initial material was largely Music/NewWave SynthPop, as shown on their first album ''With Sympathy''. Jourgenson considers the album as OldShame and CanonDisContinuity, referring to ''Sympathy'' as "an abortion of an album" and blaming ExecutiveMeddling for its existence. Fans largely follow the WordOfGod on this one, although it is notable that the follow up and somewhat looked down on album ''Twitch'' was a harsher-sounding industrial album with no traces of the "SynthPop" sound that was so prevalent on the previous album.

Also in TheEighties, Jourgensen and Barker [[{{ADCD}} formed a flurry of side projects]]. These included the more light-hearted, absurdist Revolting Cocks (which essentially has the same lineup as Ministry, plus Luc Van Acker and [[{{Front 242}} Richard 23]] at first), Lard (a collaboration with DeadKennedys frontman Jello Biafra), Acid Horse (with CabaretVoltaire), 1000 Homo [=DJs=] (where [[NineInchNails Trent Reznor]] contributed vocals to a cover of Music/BlackSabbath's "Supernaut"), PTP (with Chris Connelly), Pigface (an IndustrialMetal {{Supergroup}}) and Pailhead (with MinorThreat guitarist Ian [=MacKaye=]).

Jourgensen finally retired Ministry in 2008 after recording the covers album ''Cover Up''. He spent the next few years focusing on running his record label 13th Planet Records and concentrating on his side projects Revolting Cocks and Lard. However, as of late 2011 the band is active again (with old standbys Scaccia, Bechdel and Quirin, plus new guys Aaron Rossi and Casey Orr), and a new album is due in 2012.
