The Land of Rape and Honey

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Album infobox The Land of Rape and Honey is an album by the industrial band Ministry. The album was released in 1988 through Sire Records. The album reached No. 164 on "The Billboard magazine 200" chart. The image on the cover is the head of a dead body lying on the ground.

This album is held by some to be a defining release within the Industrial metal genre.

The album title comes from the slogan on a mug from Tisdale, Saskatchewan, whose motto is "The Land of Rape and Honey", the local economy being based on the agricultural products rapeseed and honey. Ministry, no doubt, loved the idea that the album title had many layers of meaning.
