der König ist tot.
Lorner Krimm is now dead. He was brutally murdered by his roommate 6 months before the completion of this album over a dispute of ownership of a painting. He was stabbed and sodomized with a broom before being burned alive in a field behind a farm. 

This record re-titled "The Life and Death of Lorner Krimm" was released "as is" at the time of Lorner's death. Gunther Cock, Olga Fist and John 45 announced they will tour with members of "Cretin Estaf" filling in as backing band but no dates are currently booked..

der Ministers des Hasses -Ministers of hate- were formed in Munich Germany in late 80's by electr producer Lorner Krimm. They released the "Life and death in Germany" album themselves and the demo quickly caught fire earning recognition by the masses.They were to perform with legendary super group Ministry and join the European leg of tour in 1988.  At a hometown show the week before the tour start MOH guitarist ,John 45;  in an act of anarchy pulled a pistol (no one aware it was loaded with blanks) and fired into the crowd. The infamous "death of nine" occurred that night. As the terrified mob tried to flee they stepped on and trampled to death nine teenagers including two Americans and one female from south Africa. John 45 was arrested and sentenced to 25 years hard labor. He was released after serving 22 years.

 Lorner Krimm now reunited with John 45 began production on  the follow up to "Life and Death in Germany" that they began over 25 years before. 


After his arrest the band was dropped from their label "Kriggstein Hemmer". The various member spiraled in hardship and obscurity.
