American industrial juggernaut MINISTRY, announces its new album AmeriKKKant, the band’s first release for Nuclear Blast Records (worldwide), due out March 9, 2018. In addition, the band’s Al Jourgensen is proud to release the album’s first single/official music video, “Antifa,” that stands up to the political chaos that is currently going on in America and can be checked out below.
