Ministry was formed in Chicago, Illinois, United States in 1981 by Alain Jourgensen (born Oct. 8, 1958, Havana, Cuba), who had previously been in a new wave band called Special Affect (fronted by future My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult leader Frankie Nardiello, aka Groovie Mann).
With drummer Stephen George, Ministry debuted with the Wax Trax! single Cold Life, which -- typical of their early output -- was in the synthpop dance style of new wavers like the Human League and Thompson Twins.

Rockstar's Last Call
New tune about the infamous sneak attack on the USS Liberty of June 8, 1967. On that day, 34 American sailors were murdered, 175 wounded and a $30MM signals ship trashed. The whole affair was covered up so most people never learned about this in school.
Musically, the song features a new pal Gary A Jackson on backing vocals, some sample voices from survivors and the usual Bliss suspects rocking out.more
