BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM FIREBALL MINISTRY ONCE DESCRIBED AS SABBATH PARTYING WITH PRIEST AND GRAND FUNK RAILROAD From the beginning, Fireball Ministry have aggressively steered clear of all manner of trends and cliques, opting instead to follow the rock 'n roll heart that has been the core for over a decade. Their analog-soaked, bottom-heavy swirl of tunes that tips a hat toward the best of the past without sounding like a mere retread or novelty. Famously described as "Sabbath partying with Priest and Grand Funk Railroad," there's no nonsense in the Fireball camp. They don't have a schtick. They don't have a gimmick. The Reverend James A. Rota II (guitar, vocals), Emily J. Burton (guitar), John G. Oreshnick (drums) and Johny Chow (bass) have flown the flag for authenticity for a dozen years. And with their fourth (and best) album, titled simply Fireball Ministry, the foursome shrugged-off any preconceived notions of their own. Produced by Andrew Alekel, Fireball Ministry is a triumph of will from a band who knows exactly what they are... and exactly what they are not. A clandestine and subversive cadre of true-believers from all walks of life have spread the good word about Fireball Ministry since they relocated from New York City to Hollywood, where the band has mooched a brew or three from the rich and famous without losing themselves or their sound.
