Lard - Pure Chewing Satisfaction

Pure Chewing Satisfaction is the second explosive collaboration between Jello Biafra and Ministry founders Paul Barker and Al Jourgensen, delivering a relentless collision of industrial and hardcore energy. Originally released in 1997, the album remains a dark, apocalyptic reflection on America, tackling themes from economic struggle and generational failures to environmental collapse.

Musically, it’s a relentless wall of sound: machine-gun guitars, layered real and electronic drums, menacing effects, and the biting vocals of Biafra combine into a style that is neither pure punk nor fully industrial—this is Lardcore.

A must-have for fans of Jello Biafra and Ministry, the album has been reissued for the first time in years, available on standard black vinyl as well as a limited solid-pink vinyl edition. Its brutal intensity and scathing commentary remain as relevant today as they were in 1997.
