En dus geen Ministry

MINISTRY bassist Paul Raven was found dead yesterday (Saturday, October 20) in a private home in a small French village on the Swiss border after suffering an apparent heart attack. Raven (who is also known for his work with KILLING JOKE and PRONG) was in Geneva working with French recording artists TREPONEM PAL on their new release alongside drummer Ted Parsons (PRONG) and members of THE YOUNG GODS.

Born in Wolverhampton, UK on January 16, 1961, Paul Vincent Raven established himself with his work in the seminal post-punk/industrial act KILLING JOKE after he replaced the band's original bassist in 1982, recording and touring with the group throughout its most commercially successful period, performing on "Fire Dances", "Night Time" and "Brighter than a Thousand Suns". Throughout his extensive career, Raven participated in other collaborations, including PRONG, MURDER, INC., PIGFACE and GODFLESH. Most recently, Raven was nominated for a 2006 Grammy for "Best Metal Performance" for his work with MINISTRY's Al Jourgensen, with whom he had begun collaborating in late 2005 on the MINISTRY release "Rio Grande Blood". After a 2006 world tour with the group, Raven helped Jourgensen and PRONG's Tommy Victor pen the latest MINISTRY CD, "The Last Sucker", which is also the band's final studio release.

Commented KILLING JOKE keyboardist Reza Udhin: "Paul was a very amazing man who I loved and trusted very much. He always had great ideas, ventures and always looked out for me as if I were a little brother to him.

"I was very fortunate to be in contact with him several times in his last week and I had great conversations with him, we laughed and joked, which was an integral part of his personality.

"We had so much more to do, especially with his own personal project MOB RESEARCH, which I know he was extremely excited about.

"I don't know what more to say, as this is such an unexpected happening for me, as we were only talking a short time ago. I can't believe he is gone.

"Paul will be greatly missed by music fans, friends and mostly his family; his bands will miss him terribly. He was a great man and a unique bass player who has died at such a tragically early age.

"Love to you, brother. I miss you."

On the heels of their final studio release “The Last Sucker,” released September 18, 2007, Ministry announces their Final World Tour, “C U LaTouR” with Special Guests Meshuggah and opening act Hemlock. Ministry kicks off The North American leg of C U LaTouR in Vancouver late March 2008 stopping in a limited engagement, 33 major market cities through mid-May, ending the US leg in Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen’s home town of Chicago. Ministry then heads off to play the principal European festivals as well as choice club dates beginning late May stretching through to July. Exclusive pre-sale tickets for the North American C U LaTouR, offered by Music Today, go on-sale Thursday, November 15th and can be purchased here. Exclusive Special Limited Access VIP tickets will be available for purchase via the pre-sale offering advance doors, seating, meet & greets and souvenir 13th Planet gift bags.

The C U LaTouR touring line-up features Ministry’s founder Al Jourgensen being joined on-stage by guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), keyboardist John Bechdel (Prong, AoTW, False Icons), drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (ex-Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Alice Cooper).
Static X’s Tony Campos has recently stepped in to fulfill bass on behalf of the recently departed Ministry/Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven. Joining the Ministry clan as a Special Featured Artist will be Fear Factory/Ascension of The Watchers vocalist Burton C. Bell. Main support is Swedish experimental metal Meshuggah and opening act is the US-based Hemlock.

To coincide with C U LaTouR, Jourgensen’s indie imprint is scheduled to release Ministry & Co-Conspirators “Cover Up,” a 12-track cover release featuring artists from the 13th Planet Records family, as well as other special guests. “Cover Up” is scheduled for a simultaneous release to coincide with the launch of C U LaTouR in late March/early April 2008.

For its spectacular two-and-a-half-hour “C U LaTouR”
set, Ministry will perform tracks from “The Last Sucker” as well as songs that revisit the band’s rich and provocative 30-year musical history. Archival Ministry videos plus other visual elements of alchemy, Christianity, politics and other topics aligned with Ministry will be incorporated into a special video presentation, produced by Wicked Lake director Zach Passero (with whom Jourgensen is collaborating on the soundtrack for the feature film) that will change night to night. And, as is expected from a Ministry show, you just never know what surprise guests will jump on stage for a song or two.

“A Ministry tour is a travelling circus,” states Jourgensen, “When we roll into town, everyone hides their daughters, but the freaks roll out the red carpet and a friend or two pops up on stage to add some spice and mayhem to the show. We never know who’s gonna walk through the dressing room door at sound check. We rehearse a bunch of ‘extra’ songs just in case so-and-so shows up…””
