Witness industrial metal pioneers Ministry delivering their special guest full set on the Ronnie James Dio Stage at Bloodstock Open Air 2025.

The band, formed in Chicago in the early 1980s and led by frontman Al Jourgensen, has been widely regarded as one of the most influential industrial metal bands of all time.

Blending industrial, metal, punk, and electronic music, their aggressive sound, politically charged themes, and uncompromising live performances helped define the genre and influence generations of heavy artists.

Captured live in front of a packed festival crowd at Catton Park, this full pro-shot performance documents Ministry's complete special guest appearance, delivering relentless riffs, mechanical grooves, and raw intensity from start to finish.

The set features iconic tracks from across Ministry's career, including the explosive Jesus Built My Hotrod, a live staple that sent the Bloodstock crowd into frenzy and marked one of the standout moments of the weekend.

Ministry is also celebrating their official music video for Everyday Is Halloween.

Originally released in 1984, Al Jourgensen's rally cry for the goth community and misunderstood creatures of the night has remained a cult classic over the decades and is finally being given the visual treatment it deserves.

Says Jourgensen, “I’m amazed and honored that folks are still listening to this song 40 years on.

Fly that freak flag proudly.” Everyday Is Halloween is one of the cuts on the new album, The Squirrely Years Revisited, out now via Cleopatra Records.

This release sees Jourgensen making peace with the past by reworking synth pop hits from his long-dormant catalog.

Featuring nine tracks (three additional bonus tracks on CD), The Squirrely Years Revisited offers reworked versions of not only Everyday Is Halloween but also Work For Love, I'm Not An Effigy, and Ill Do Anything For You.

Ministry's latest album follows the release of their 16th studio album in 2024 via Nuclear Blast Records, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES.

The new record is due to be released in 2026 with Jourgensen teaming up once again with Paul Barker."
