About
Rio Grande Blood is the tenth studio album by industrial metal band Ministry, released in 2006. It is their first release through 13th Planet and Megaforce Record. The album is the 2nd part of the band's anti-George W. Bush trilogy, preceded by 2004's Houses of the Molé and followed by 2007's The Last Sucker. The title of the album is a parody of the 1972 ZZ Top album Rio Grande Mud. Just like Houses of the Molé, Rio Grande Blood contains very political lyric, making frequent allusions to the George W. Bush administration. Some of the issues raised include the then-current Iraq War, U.S. immigration policy and U.S. military policy (particularly the US Marine Corps in the song Gangreen). The Halliburton corporation is also quoted and linked to the Bush administration. The album also contains allegations of the Bush administration complicity in the 9/11 attacks in the track Lieslieslie, which contains audio samples from the conspiracy documentary Loose Change. The song received a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 49th annual Grammy Award. The Great Satan was also nominated for a Grammy. A remix of the track is featured on the album. Samples of genuine Bush soundbites are cut-and-pasted together at various points to satirical effect: for example, the title track begins with Bush stating "I have adopted sophisticated terrorist tactics and I'm a dangerou, dangerous man with dangerou, dangerous weapon." .
