AL JOURGENSEN's New Collaboration With MARK THWAITE To Celebrate Memory Of PAUL RAVEN

September 25, 2009

While his prodigal step-child REVCO (REVOLTING COCKS) is out on the North American LuBriCaTouR promoting the upcoming 13th Planet release "Sex-O MiXXX-O", MINISTRY's Al Jourgensen has hooked up with guitarist Mark Thwaite (MISSION UK, PETER MURPHY, TRICKY, MOB RESEARCH) in the studio, collaborating on several projects simultaneously. Jourgensen and Thwaite, both long-time friends of KILLING JOKE/MINISTRY bassist Paul Raven, who passed away October 20, 2007, joined forces recently at Jourgensen's 13th Planet compound in Texas on REVCO projects and another Jourgensen side project.

Thwaite brings his remix skills to REVCO's upcoming "Sex-O MiXXX-O" on "Abundant Redundancy (Dambuster Metalmorphosis Mix)", to be released as a digital-only bonus supplement to the physical release. Thwaite's previous remix credits include GARY NUMAN, METHOD MAN and LICKY, to name a few. Additionally, Thwaite collaborated with MINISTRY/REVCO guitarist Sin Quirin on "Filthy Senoritas" for the upcoming REVCO release, slated for spring 2010.

But the crowning jewel of the Jourgensen/Thwaite collaboration is the newly penned, as-yet-untitled Christmas song, to be released via digital download exclusively this Thanksgiving. 13th Planet will release a digital stream of the track October 20, 2009 on MINISTRY's MySpace page to celebrate the memory of their "favorite pirate" Paul Raven.

REVCO's October 20 performance in Jacksonville, Florida will feature a video collage of Paul Raven's life by longtime friend Dean Karr.

Jourgensen will join his band of merry freaks, REVCO, on October 6 in Chicago at House of Blues and October 17 at New York City's Irving Plaza.
