Another in the growing legion of stoner rock bands, Fireball Ministry are a throwback to the 70's, with influences ranging from Black Sabbath (more so than other stoner bands) to Monster Magnet to Fu Manchu. Like several of the bands in this genre, the Ministry manages to craft original, distinctive songs while at the same time sounding very similar to others in the field. With two releases on small labels under their belts, they stepped it up a notch by signing to Nuclear Blast for their 2003 release, The Second Great Awakening.
