Ministry attacks the topic of misogyny in new single/video ‘B.D.E.’

Video Review

Al Jourgensen of Ministry
Toxic misogyny, violence against women, and incels are the latest target Al Jourgensen takes aim at in the song “B.D.E.” (aka “Big Dick Energy”) out today, including a spellbinding music video that draws the line on the poisonous behavior seen in both politics and everyday life in 2024.
ROCK AT NIGHT SAYS: Love, LOVE this song & video! OUR NEW ANTHEM.  It’s about time somebody write about toxic misogyny.The lyrics in the song and video says it all, “Hating what you can’t you have. Killing what you cannot be” and “Let me give you a hint. I’m not just a vagina.”

VIDEO

The song’s whiplash riffs, barreling drums, punchy keys, and pummeling bass all come to a head in the thrash breakdown mid-song, putting the aggressive talents of Jourgensen and the full band — John Bechdel (keyboards), Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto (guitars), Roy Mayorga (drums) and Paul D’Amour (bass) — on full display.
