The mainman behind Ministry, and also heavily involved in the Revolting Cocks, Lard and God knows how many other projects. While mostly known for his raspy barks (usually w/ heavy effects), he has displayed some pretty versatile uses of different apporaches ranging from brooding dark New Romantic (the entire "With Sympathy" album as well as the group's similar older material up until 1985), twangy country (live covers of the Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil" and his Buck Satan side project), and the occasional brutal grunts as well. Also possesses a solid resonant lower register that he mostly used to greater effect on the "Twitch" album; since then mostly eschewing this aspect outside of the odd excursion here and there, preferring to showcase the more aggressive side of his voice in the more modern era.
Due to the wide selection of guest vocalists and samples Ministry has used it can be pretty hard to tell sometimes which parts of certain songs are indeed Al, the notes listed here are what I have ascertained are indeed Al's voice to the best of my ability.
