AL JOURGENSEN, mastermind of legendary industrial metal tormentors MINISTRY,
just announced the final stand of the band after a tumultuous journey since 1981.
They bagged their 17th and final LP, named Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery).
It’ll hit the streets on October 30th.
Jourgensen: “I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from With Sympathy to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”
Here’s the pulverizing lead single.
Along with the sad news for their millions of fans around the world,
a final Europe/UK tour is unveiled. No sign, thus far, of North American
or other dates, but they will come for sure.
