(FR PR) And that's a wrap, folks. After 45 incredible years, Ministry's final album, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery) is out on Cleopatra Records. With 10 tracks about societal collapse, frauds in charge and the impending robot takeover, Al Jourgensen is officially exiting as loud as he came onto the scene.
"I'm proud of what I've accomplished," says Jourgensen, who's been recognized as a pioneer of industrial music with a history built upon 17 studio albums, 8 live releases, 8 side projects, multiple touring campaigns across 5 continents, an autobiography, 2 documentaries, the administration of last rites no less than 3 times, and the countless numbers of devoted acolytes and fans.
"I'm amazed at the path that it's taken, from With Sympathy to where we're at today, and all points in between," he adds. "It's been quite a ride, but I'm completely at peace with the fact that it's done."
Alongside today's album release, Ministry shares a new single, "Crickets" that warns of fascism repeating itself in 2026 and imploring people to start speaking up before it's too late. It's accompanied by a music video directed by Dean Karr (Korn, Queens of the Stone Age, Ozzy Osbourne). See the video HERE.
"Crickets" follows previous singles from Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), including "Singularity," "Burned Out" and "We Hate."
Ministry's 17th and final release also features one final collaboration with legacy member Paul Barker on the ending album track "We're Still Here," alongside the handiwork of current Ministry bandmates, guitarists Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto, bassist Paul D' Amour, sampler/synth player John Bechdel and drummer Pepe Clarke Maga-a.
