Seventy minutes of punishing industrial thrash recorded during the band's first farewell tour. A mechanical, sample-heavy assault fueled by political vitriol.

Adios... Puta Madres is the sound of a band burning their bridges with a flamethrower. Recorded during Ministry's 2008 'C-U-La-Tour,' which was intended to be their final outing, the album captures the group at their most physically punishing. Gone are the danceable synth-pop roots of the early 80s or the psychedelic experiments of the 90s; this is pure, high-velocity industrial thrash. The guitars are mixed as a singular, serrated edge that never stops sawing, while the drums provide a mechanical, almost inhuman foundation that feels like a factory assembly line gone rogue.
