This is the other new song besides Antifa that they’re playing on the current tour. Sounds good! Feeling some strong Killing Joke influence.

Nice, thanks for posting! A little hard to get a grip on what’s happening during the verses in this clip, but I really like the chorus. Sounds like he’s trying for something a little different again, which is good. I hope early 2018 means early 2018… 
Sounds like the Bush Trilogy songs.
Which is actually fine by me. I liked the Bush Trilogy, musically speaking (the lyrics were mostly awful). And it’s an improvement over the two post-Bush Ministry albums.
I like the verse portion, but the chorus section is weak. I’ll reserve judgement until I hear the album mix.
Meh…
Certainly agree with who ever said (cant be bothered to scroll up four posts or so)it sounded like bush trilogy music.
Definitely sounds like modern Ministry, but the Killing Joke type chorus (sounds a bit like “Wardance”) was a nice touch.
I’ll be attending the Ministry show tonight, so I might have more to say about it later.
Sounds fine to me.
Nothing Earth shattering or anything, but cool to get some new sounds.
Actually looking forward to this release now. I like what I’m hearing. I haven’t been able to say that about a Ministry album in yeeeears

Kinda looks like Josh Bradford in clown make up.
Was there a melody in any of that? Just disgraceful.

That would be Burton C Bell of Fear Factory.
It’s alright. I like the Antifa song better but this one’s not bad.
Definitely a Killing Joke vibe. I love the politically-motivated comments elsewhere on the internet with petty foot-stomping “oh and by the way, the new songs suck” postscripts about how the fact that it sounds like KJ is proof that Al has suddenly become a talentless hack who rips off other bands at precisely the exact moment that he began attacking Trump.
Steve Albini was calling Ministry talentless Killing Joke carbon-copies back in like Twitch era; if you’re gonna be an elitist about someone ripping someone else off, do it right.
Greatly prefer this to Antifa (better video too). Sounds like something from Houses of the Mole, which is fine by me.
Wonder if he’s gunning for a spot at the next Juggalo Gathering with that black and white clown makeup.

Burton has already performed at the Juggalo Gathering with Fear Factory, back in 2012.

^ This.
Nothing wrong with Mole…
The chorus is “Wargasm addict”, which I can only assume is a play on words referencing the Buzzcocks’ songs “Orgasm Addict”. Song totally sounds like a KJ hack job. Also, enough with the ‘lyric videos’ already. Why do today’s music videos look so cheap compared to videos from the '80s and '90s?
Just sounds like something Al has done already.

The video is the stupidest thing ever.
They should have just used live footage of them. Not . . . whatever the fuck THIS is. I don’t know if they were playing just for the video or if it was some rehearsal footage or what, but it looks like they’re performing in a high school talent show or something. Total misrepresentation of how great Ministry is (still) live.
And Burton Bell (I’m told it’s him) looking like the Insane Clown Posse? The generic war footage is the LEAST of this video’s problems.
And if your song is one of the dumbest lyrically, DON’T SHOW THE LYRICS. Seriously, it hurts my fucking head. This shit is just so cliché. Let me struggle with it and at least pretend that there might be something deep there.
And, yes, the chorus is a nod to Buzzcocks, obviously. Though I don’t know if they really want that nod. Maybe if the video didn’t exist. But this . . . . is BAD.
