MINISTRY mainman Al Jourgensen has launched a new project called SURGICAL METH MACHINE with longtime engineer Sam D'Ambruoso.

"We decided to cut out the middle men," Jourgensen told "The Metal Hammer Magazine Show ". "Me and him are doing this music that's just eyeball-popping. There's nothing under 220pbm on there. It's not for the faint of heart."

According to Jourgensen, the material on SURGICAL METH MACHINE's debut album will be similar to the song "Side F/X Include Mikey's Middle Finger (TV4)", which appeared on MINISTRY's last studio album, "From Beer To Eternity", released one year following the death of MINISTRY guitarist and Al's close friend Mike Scaccia in 2012.

"'Mikey's Middle Finger' is one of the last things Mike did before he died," Al said. "Imagine a whole album of that — this is what we're going for now. Straight mayhem."

He added: "People are probably going to dismiss it as craziness — and that's good. Craziness develops a future in music. You need the crazy."
