	FIREBALL MINISTRY - Bassist Sits Out OPETH, CKY Tours
	Los Angeles-based quartet FIREBALL MINISTRY have recruited Jason and Josh Diamond from PUNY HUMAN to handle the bass duties on the OPETH and CKY tours after the group's regular bassist, Johnny Chow (a.k.a. John Mark Bechtel, ex-SYSTEMATIC, MY RUIN), was forced to take time out during October while awaiting the birth of his child. Chow is expected to resume touring with the band in November for the "Viva La Bands Tour" alongside H.I.M., FINCH and SKINDRED. FIREBALL MINISTRY will release their new offering, "Their Rock Is Not Our Rock" (Liquor and Poker Music) — the follow-up to their critically acclaimed "The Second Great Awakening" — October 18. In addition, FIREBALL MINISTRY currently appears on the recently released "Bam Margera Presents: Viva La Bands" compilation CD. For "Their Rock Is Not Our Rock", FIREBALL MINISTRY re-teamed with producer Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, VELVET REVOLVER). Recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 West as well as the late Elliott Smith's New Monkey Studios, "Their Rock Is Not Our Rock" is already garnering early critical buzz.
