And the video for the single.
The Children’s Crusade is an electronic rock band based in Chicago, Illinois. In recording and studio settings The Children’s Crusade is a one man project led by Jason Schmal. In live settings the band is comprised of Cassie Tarakajian on guitar, Oscar Peck-Dorr on synths, Danny Schwartz on bass/synths, and Jason Schmal on guitar and vocals.
“Deity” is a track from Ministry’s 1986 album “Twitch” which saw the band’s transition from synthpop into darker, aggressive industrial territory. The album, produced by Adrian Sherwood introduced harsher electronics, mechanical rhythms, and politically tinged lyrical themes that would define Ministry’s later work.
