Ministry Founder Al Jourgensen's Long Anticipated
Country Album Finally Arrives
AFM Records will kick off their 2012 North American release
schedule with the CD version of the highly-anticipated debut from BUCK
SATAN AND THE 666 SHOOTERS, the psycho-country/metal alter-ego of
Ministry's infamous founder, Al Jourgensen.
In addition to his worldwide notoriety as the Godfather of
industrial metal, the public has long been aware of Al Jourgensen's
doppelganger, Buck Satan; an idea birthed in homage to his longtime country
music hero Buck Owens. Owens, just prior to his death, "blessed"
Jourgensen’s country side-project BUCK SATAN AND THE 666 SHOOTERS,
and now finally fully realized years later, this anticipated, apocalyptic bit
of filthy modern Americana is complete, the collection of hymns dubbed Bikers
Welcome! Ladies Drink Free.
Jourgensen recruited additional henchmen for the debut
recordings from BUCK SATAN AND THE 666 SHOOTERS, including Rick
Nielsen (Cheap Trick), Tony Campos (Static-X) and Mike Scaccia (Rigor Mortis),
in addition to a plethora of guest musicians bearing fiddles, cellos, pedal
steel guitars, mandolins, banjos, and more for the construction of the album,
utilizing his extensive knowledge of country music to accomplish the album,
including eleven original numbers as well as a nod to the legendary Gram
Parsons on "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man." Weighing in with over
fifty minutes of high-octane "country core" debauchery, Bikers
Welcome! Ladies Drink Free should no doubt be a highly anticipated
release for diehard Ministry/Jourgensen fans as well as anybody with a penchant
for outlaw country music or raging American rock in general.
Bikers Welcome! Ladies Drink Free will be
released on CD via AFM Records through Dismanic Distribution on January 17th,
with the digital release being handled by Jourgensen's own Thirteenth Planet
Records. Check out the album art for Bikers Welcome! Ladies Drink Free,
