Ministry's 2004 release Houses of the Molé and corresponding world tour The Evil Doer Tour were both met with critical praise and adulation from both media critics and Ministry fans worldwide. Molé and the Evil Doer Tour was a return to form for Ministry main man and founder Al Jourgensen, and both served to re-instate Ministry into the upper echelons of industrial metal. Additionally, Molé was to become the first installment of Jourgensen s political trilogy of terror toward the Bush Administration and the Gulf War.
