Lead Into Gold is a side project of American industrial musician Paul Barker, best known as the bassist for Ministry. Primarily a solo project by Barker, Lead Into Gold featured occasional guest performances by his Ministry bandmates Al Jourgensen and Bill Rieflin.
Lead Into Gold only released two albums, Age of Reason and Chicks & Speed: Futurism, though the latter was simply a compilation of the 12" singles for Idiot and Faster Than Light. There was an EP to be released at some point in the early '90s entitled Low & Slow, but never saw the light of day.[citation needed] The tracks, according to Barker, were called "The Sweetest Kiss", "The Crybaby", "Low & Slow", and a remix of the track "Lunatic/Genius" with additional percussion by Rieflin.
In the video for "Faster Than Light", Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) can be seen playing the guitar. He was rumored to have been in the area for the "Head Like a Hole" video shoot when he made his cameo.
