MINSTRY successfully linked heavy metal, electronic beat and the attitude of punk. "The Land Of Rape And Honey" was their breathtaking debut in 1988, which laid the foundation for a whole series of "Tech Metal" albums that found their fans in the alternative communities around the world.

With their Focus on samples, synthesized sounds, and layer upon layer of distorted guitar mINISTRY were one of the forerunners on the path that acts like NINE INCH NAILS and FEAR FACTORY were to follow. Highlights on "The Land Of Rape And Honey" are songs like "Stigmata", "The Missing" and "Flashback", which provide a perfect example of the band's sound.
