Al Jourgensen is disassembling the Ministry pulpit after more than a quarter-century, but the final tour is going out hellfire-and-brimstone-style. Ministry’s recent (but certainly not last) CD, Cover Up, unleashed trademark vocal menace and punishing beat on “Bang a Gong” and other flashback favorites, a good indicator of what you’ll hear between “N.W.O.” and “Just One Fix.” (Ah, for the days of “Stainless Steel Providers”!) Swedish thrashers Meshuggah and Las Vegas metallicos Hemlock open. – Margaret Moser more at austinchronicle.com

Ghostland Observatory has grown big in Austin and beyond with a sound that tips toward the electro-rock likes of The Rapture and VHS Or Beta—more so the latter, thanks to a penchant for vocoder effects that skew as suspect as often as they prove stirring. The duo spent most of 2007 breaking out behind the flashy grooves of Paparazzi Lightning, an album made for nightclub hedonism that naturally felt flaccid in the harsh light of day. Not taking any chances, the new Robotique Majestique amps up the hair-band posturing even further—the mix of Euro-metal yowls and oppressively cheesy ’80s synths evokes Billy Squier as remixed by The Crystal Method—which won’t win back cynics who have already dismissed the group. It should, however, make a huge splash amongst those who value style over substance—i.e., the majority of the music-buying public. Opening: Dr. Jack.
