Rio Grande Blood Rio Grande Blood is the tenth studio album by American industrial metal band Ministry , released in 2006. It is their first release through 13th Planet and Megaforce Records .Overview The album is the 2nd part of the band's anti-George W. Bush trilogy, preceded by 2004's Houses of the Molé and followed by 2007's The Last Sucker . The title of the album is a parody of the 1972 ZZ Top album Rio Grande Mud . Just like Houses of the Molé , Rio Grande Blood contains very political lyrics, making frequent allusions to the George W . Bush administration . The second track makes an explicit reference to Bush as Señor Peligro, which translates to "Mr. Danger" in Spanish. Some of the issues raised include the then-current Iraq War , U.S. immigration policy and U.S. military policy. The Halliburton corporation is also quoted and linked to the Bush administration. The album also contains allegations of the Bush administration complicity in the 9/11 attacks in the track "Lieslieslies," which contains audio samples from the conspiracy documentary Loose Change . The song received a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 49th Grammy Awards . A remix of the song "The Great Satan" from Rantology appears on this album. Along with "LiesLiesLies", "The Great Satan" was also nominated for a Grammy. Samples of genuine Bush soundbites are cut-and-pasted together at various points to satirical effect: for example, the title track begins with Bush stating "I have adopted sophisticated terrorist tactics and I'm a dangerous, dangerous man with dangerous, dangerous weapons." The album was re-released in remixed form as Rio Grande Dub on July 10 , 2007. Jourgensen ranks Rio Grande Blood as his second favorite Ministry album saying that not only he liked the songs but he had a good time working with Paul Raven and Tommy Victor . He was also proud that some of the songs were used in the 2008 Academy Award winning film The Hurt Locker .Track listing Personnel Ministry Al Jourgensen - lead vocals , lead guitar , guitars, bass , keyboards , drum programming , production Tommy Victor - guitars, bass Paul Raven - keyboards, backing vocals , bass, guitars drum programming, drums Mark Baker - drumsAdditional personnel Isaias Martinez - Latin vocals Freddie Macias - background vocals Sgt.
