Ministry head honcho Al Jourgensen has enlisted the help of some of metal’s finest for Ministry and Co-Conspirators’ Cover Up. Due out on April Fools Day, the album features covers of some of rock music’s absolute classics – from the likes of Deep Purple, T-Rex, ZZ Top, The Doors, Mountain, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and more. Joining Al for the ride is Ministry and Revolting Cocks guitarist Sin Quirin, Fear Factory front man Burton C. Bell, Revolting Cocks' Josh Bradford, Prong vocalist Thomas Victor, and the Hell Paso Mosh Choir. Additional Co-Conspirators include the late Paul Raven, Tony Campos and Wayne Static of Static X, and Echoes and Shadows’ Edu Mussi and Plastilina Mosh.

Publishing issues prevent us from circulating tracks from the album for promotional use, but we’ve got a special treat to make up for it. On Tuesday, March 25th, one week before the album is released, Ministry will be adding :30 second clips of every cover on the album to their Myspace page. In the meantime, considering Sin Quirin and Josh Bradford’s involvement in the project, we’re offering up a track from the forthcoming Revolting Cocks album, Sex-O Olympic-O, not due for release until later this year.

The April Fools Day release of Cover Up coincides with the launch of Ministry's final world tour – C U LaTouR - which kicks off March 25 in Spokane, WA. The 38-date trek features Special Guests Meshuggah and opening act Hemlock, and winds down in mid-May with multiple-nights in Ministry front man Al Jourgensen's home town of Chicago.
