So 13th Planet Records, Al Jourgensen’s pet project now that Ministry is no more, is finally releasing some more music that doesn’t revolve around an Al Jourgensen-fronted band. False Icons is an Industrial Rock act out of Pennsylvania helmed by John Bechdel, who has recorded and toured for over twenty years with an impressive array of seminal artists including Ministry, Fear Factory, Prong, Killing Joke, Murder Inc. and Ascension Of The Watchers.

And, wouldn’t you know it, the band sounds a lot like Ministry, Fear Factory, Prong, Killing Joke, Murder Inc., etc. Imagine that. The debut album, God Complex, is set to be released on November 11th and features Bechdel on vocals, guitar and keyboards, Brian Broadt on keyboards, vocals and guitars, Mark Panek on drums and Dave Brown on bass. The album was Mixed and Produced by Uncle Al.

It should be interesting to see if this act can carve out a unique niche for itself amongst its label mates. Check out the band’s MySpace page for a sampling of their sound and other info.
