FIREBALL MINISTRY
Remember The Story
Cleopatra Records 2017

In recent years when I read that a band had signed a deal with Cleopatra Records, it signals the kiss of death of said band. So Cal’sFIREBALL MINISTRY are set to release their fifth effort titled; Remember The Story. If you’re keeping track it’s been roughly about 7 years since their last record Their Rock Is Not Ours received critical acclaim and their song “The Broken” made its way onto to a WWE video [if that’s your thing]. FIREBALL MINISTRY also made their way onto the FX television show Sons Of Anarchy as well; while the exposure didn’t ‘break’ the band it did expand the fanbase some.

FIREBALL MINISTRY launched Remember The Story with the track “Back On Earth” which is just what you’d expect; doomy, melodic, groovy rock ‘n’ roll. The theme continues throughout Remember Their Story. James A. Rota II while not an outstanding singer, it fit this style of rock music his guitar play compliments guitarist Emily Burton’s brilliantly and showcase growth as a guitar tandem. Remember The Story also marks FFIREBALL MINISTRY’s first record with their new bassist Scott Reeder best known for his work with desert doom act KYUSS. Handling production is Paul Fig [ALICE IN CHAINS, GHOST] who also mixed the album. Fig’s vision was clearly to not reinvent the wheel but he did make FIREBALL MINISTRY sound more bombastic. Remember The Story is worth investing your time and money, it’s a solid record with tracks like “Back On Earth”, “Everything You Wanted”, “Stop Talking” and “All For Naught” you simply can’t go wrong.
