10 Perfect Heavy Metal Songs To Listen To When You're Angry

5. Ministry - Thieves

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c3BCWx5Rpg If ever there was a song to start a protest, this is the one. The early industrial pioneers Ministry, fronted by the infamous Al Jourgenson, create a cauldron of frustration, social unrest and retaliation on the establishment attack that is Thieves. The nightmarish drill sound effects, Jourgenson's barking condemnations and the head spinning main riff all add up to make a song that is as uneasy as it is thrilling. It is clear why they were such an influence on other artists in the genre like Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson, speaking out against the powers that be with venom, but Ministry also innovated in a way that not many others were during the 80's. Their unfashionably outspoken views and masterful sound manipulation gave them a certain authenticity that it is not possible to replicate. Thieves hits all the right spots with the band's volatile reputation and music technicality coming to fruition as one. The manic nature of this one musically and lyrically make it a classic, standing as an important landmark in the art of extreme production. Angriest Lyric: "Hey thanks for nothing, Morals in the dust, Two faced bast**ds and sycophants, No trust".
