Live Shots: Ministry, Corrosion of Conformity, Melvins at the Warfield

Doomsday industrial, a fist-pumping crowd, and a surprise appearance by Endora on Sat/16

By Jon Bauer

Corrosion of Conformity shredded, the typically droll Melvins played in front of a huge projection of Endora from ‘Bewitched,’ and Ministry, with a lively Al Jourgensen, delivered with a set of apocalyptic industrial favorites from the front end of their 41-year catalog at the Warfield on Sat/16.
