Ministry just completed their North American tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the perfect album, The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste. The final, and Seattle date awesomely included tracks from that release, such as “Burning Inside” and “Thieves.” The show also included Ministry performing behind a fence. After rescheduling the tour due to COVID-19, The Industrial Strength Tour welcomed openers Melvins (who have an impressive milestone lined up for next year) and Corrosion of Conformity.
