Ministry to Release Final Album in October
Ministry will release their 17th and final album, Hate To Go (Take Out or Delivery), on Oct. 30 via Cleopatra Records. The band previewed the LP with the fittingly-titled single “Burned Out.”
“I’m fucking done,” frontman Al Jourgensen said in a statement. “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.”
Hate To Go (Take Out or Delivery) features one final collaboration with legacy member Paul Barker on the final track “We’re Still Here.” It also features Jourgensen’s current Ministry bandmates, guitarists Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto, bassist Paul D’ Amour, sampler/synth player John Bechdel, and drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña.
Hate To Go (Take Out or Delivery) will be available in several formats, including vinyl, CD, cassettes and digital. Several vinyl variants and box sets will be released. Fans can preorder an pre-save the album here.
Ministry will embark on an international farewell tour in 2027. The Goodbye Europe Tour, which will feature special guest Die Krupps, kicks off April 2, 2027 in Utrecht, Netherlands. A slew of European dates have been announced and will be followed by a full U.S. run, with exact dates and venues coming soon. The European tour dates will feature exclusive meet and greet opportunities with Jourgensen, also including a photo op, souvenir laminate pass, silk screen poster, and final European tour coin.
In addition, the band has a few final U.S. tour dates for 2026, including Chicago’s Salt Shed, Red Rocks in Colorado, and appearances at Louder Than Life and Sick New World Texas.
Jourgensen founded Ministry in Chicago in 1981. The band have been recognized as pioneers of industrial music, releasing 17 studio albums, eight live releases, eight side projects, and two documentaries across their career.
