-Fireball Ministry-

"As the idea of rock heroes keeps fading into the background, along comes Fireball Ministry to pump life back into it. No bitching, no politics, just a party, fueled by the amazing music they create and James Rota's powerhouse vocals. If I do one thing right at MTV, it'll be to make Fireball Ministry the biggest band in the world." - Iann Robinson, MTV News.

The saviors of rock have been awakened and it’s not going to be pretty. Rev. James A. Rota II, Janis Tanaka, Emily J. Burton and John Oreshnick are back to set the record straight and this time it’s personal. Fireball Ministry’s latest release, “The Second Great Awakening,” is an all out aural-assault on these ironic times where the true meaning of “rock”has long been forgotten. Who better to remind the masses than the First Church of Rock and Roll?

With two prior releases under their belt, Ou Est La Rock? (Bongload Records) and FMEP (Small Stone Records), Fireball Ministry is prepared to spread their newest message of hardrock and heavy metal to the congregation. FM combines the massive rock thunder of bands like Grand Funk Railroad with the classic heavy metal crunch of bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, providing sonic deliverance for today's pure rock-starved audiences.

Fireball Ministry has been featured as a “You Hear It First” band on MTV, as well as on the newly revived MTV’s “Headbanger’s Ball.” The music of Fireball Ministry has been heard onthe Fox Sports Net television series “Blue Torch TV” and in the Tony Hawk Tour DVD. Theband has shared bills with Motorhead, Danzig, Rollins Band, Fu Manchu, High on Fire and Unida, as well as played the “November to Dismember” festival.

Their Nuclear Blast debut album, “The Second Great Awakening,” was produced by Grammy Award-winning Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Danzig, Velvet Revolver).

The album features exclusive artwork by cult comic artist Dan Brereton of “Nocturnals” fame and includes thesongs "Master Of None", "Flatline" and "The Sinner" among others. Let the ceremony begin!
