The record was never meant to exist � but mainman Al Jourgensen says he "didn't have a choice" about making it. The record came out of a mammoth session of laying down rough tracks, followed by the tragic death of guitarist Mike Scaccia three days later.

Jourgen says: "We have never, in the history of Ministry, ever had a tracking session like that before. Everything went so smoothly. Mikey was on fire and inspired, and really a driving force."
