Ministry - Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992)

It doesn't get any better if you're into industrial metal with Ministry's Psalm 69. This is the album that got them more noticed and were even nominated for the best metal performance for "N.W.O." at a Grammy's Awards Show. Nine Inch Nails had just gotten the genre super popular and it's one of those important albums because there was the cult thing happening. Still to this day no one seems to recognize this as one of the greatest metal records of the nineties and the atmosphere they created was something new and innovative. It's a shame because they're one of the fiercest and dark bands you'll come across. It's brilliantly aggressive in a different kind of way because it has the thrash attack with the industrial sound which they blend it like no other. It's horribly massively sounding, few picked there influence up and they put spins on it like Rammstein. It's as cutting edge as anything I've heard and it's not new at all but, it's there style which I highly admire. They produce great albums, this is like the Master of Puppets of industrial metal in my opinion. Songs to check out "Just One Fix", "Jesus Built My Hotrod" and "N.W.O."
