Never regret your goth phase. Someone tracking down an old-ass photo of you in 91 with painted nails, lucious dyed black hair and wearing a sick Nine Inch Nails shirt that's probably worth about $280 now on eBay might be embarassing, but it's surely an important part of your musical evolution. Sure, the hair might have gone away and you've gotten a little more jaded, but goth will never leave you, no matter how hard you try. So embrace that with this sick previously unreleased Ministry demo.Listening to them now, it's hard to remember the leaders of industrial metal getting their start playing new wave and goth. But the band is dropping a super cool Record Store Day release titled Trax! Box, a seven disc boxset containing 101 songs and 29 previously unreleased bangers, like the one we've got for you right here. The demo for "The Game Is Over" will make you really bummed that this is only just being released, and wasn't on regular rotation in the club that didn't card when you were nineteen. Bassy synths rattle around while a boom-bap drum beats to create bounciness that only new-wave can do. Sadness and danciness has never sounded this good together.Check out the track below, and start camping outside your local record store for Record Store Day April 18.
