Ministry announce new lineup

Ministry has announced a brand new lineup as well as intentions to tour in 2015. Frontman Al Jourgensen will be joined by guitarists Monte Pittman (Prong, Madonna) and Sin Quirin, bassist Tony Campos (Soulfly, Static-X), drummer Aaron Rossi and keyboardist John Bechdel.

It appears that Tommy Victor of Prong is no longer in the group. According to Blabbermouth, Victor stated, "Yeah, it's a hard situation to be in. When I got in there, I was running five miles a day, I was clean and sober. And then, the environment around there... by the time I got out of a couple of tours, I was smoking and drinking again. That's the decision I made. In order to fit in, you know, you've gotta do certain things. However, a guy like Sin Quirin, he was able to work with Al and keep his own identity, and I've gotta give him a lot of kudos for that, and Al respected him for that. So you can get caught up, or you don't get caught up, and that's the decision you make."
