Done. Sayonara. Finito. However you want to say it, Ministry<\/strong> is coming to an end. But before bidding adieu, creator and music madman Al Jourgensen <\/strong>has a few final things to say about the state of the world, those in charge and how we should all collectively move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gets it all off his chest in Ministry\u2019s<\/strong> final album Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)<\/em><\/strong> coming October 30<\/strong> on Cleopatra Records.<\/strong> Today, Ministry<\/strong> releases a first taste of the album with the single and video for single \u201cBurned Out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the music video for \u201cBurned Out,\u201d<\/strong> directed by Joshua Bradford<\/strong> (formerly of Revolting Cocks<\/strong>), HERE.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1981, Ministry <\/strong>and Jourgensen <\/strong>have been recognized as pioneers 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On marking the end of an era, Jourgensen<\/strong> shares, \u201cI\u2019m fucking done. I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve accomplished. I\u2019m amazed at the path that it\u2019s taken, from With Sympathy<\/em> to where we\u2019re at today, and all points in between. It\u2019s been quite a ride, but I\u2019m completely at peace with the fact that it\u2019s done. It\u2019s time to herd goats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)<\/em><\/strong>\u2014Ministry\u2019s<\/strong> 17th<\/sup> release\u2014features one final collaboration with legacy member Paul Barker<\/strong> on the final album track \u201cWe\u2019re Still Here,\u201d alongside the handiwork of current Ministry bandmates, guitarists Monte Pittman<\/strong> and Cesar Soto<\/strong>, bassist Paul D\u2019 Amour,<\/strong> sampler\/synth player John Bechdel<\/strong> and drummer Pepe Clarke Maga\u00f1a.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
