Al Jourgensen founded Ministry in Chicago in the early 1980s and became known for aggressive industrial metal built on samples, distortion and shouted vocals. This scream dates from around 1996, during the band's heavier mid-nineties period, and was later lifted as a standalone clip for soundboards. Short isolated vocal bursts like this spread easily in meme edits because they need no context, and Jourgensen's strained delivery still gives creators a ready-made sound for rage, pain and comic overreaction.
