Industrial metal legends MINISTRY have recruited former TOOL member Paul D’Amour as their new bassist.
A founding member of TOOL, D’Amour played on the band’s classic albums ‘Opiate’ and ‘Undertow’ and recorded some of the early demos for 1995’s ‘Aenima’ before leaving due to personal differences and being replaced by Justin Chancellor.
Following his exit from TOOL, D’Amour created the psychedelic outfit LUSK with Brad Laner (MEDICINE), Greg Edwards (AUTOLUX, FAILURE) and Chris Pitman (GUNS N’ ROSES). Since then, he has worked on various film and television scores.
D’Amour will make his live debut with MINISTRY on the band’s summer 2019 European tour, which is scheduled to kick off on June 16 in Austria.
