Ministry: final album and farewell tour on the way. Listen to the single "Burned Out"

28-07-2026

Ministry have announced what will be the final chapter of their story. The band led by Al Jourgensen will release their last studio album, "Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)", on October 30 via Cleopatra Records, followed by a farewell tour set to close out a career that began in 1981 and became fundamental to the evolution of industrial metal.

Jourgensen had long hinted that the project was reaching its end, but now the decision is final. With his usual blunt language, the band's leader summed up the moment with an eloquent "fucking done". "I'm proud of what I've accomplished. I'm amazed at the road this band has traveled since With Sympathy. How far we've come. Everything that happened in between. It's been an incredible journey, but I'm ready to leave this long adventure behind me. It's time to raise goats", the musician stated.
The album is previewed by the single "Burned Out" (see below), accompanied by a video directed by Joshua Bradford marked by a strong political and social edge, a stylistic hallmark that has defined much of the band's most recent output.

Among the album's notable features is the return of Paul Barker, longtime collaborator and member of the classic Ministry lineup, who appears on the closing track "We're Still Here", symbolically sealing the end of the band's journey.
Here is the tracklist for "Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)":

  1. Crickets
  2. Voices of Hate
  3. Clown Car
  4. We Hate
  5. Delete
  6. Grifter
  7. The White Man Lied
  8. Singularity
  9. Burned Out
  10. We're Still Here (feat. Paul Barker)

The farewell tour will kick off with a series of shows in the United States before heading to Europe in April 2027. Ministry will be joined by Die Krupps on a tour taking in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Scandinavia and Finland. No Italian dates have been announced at this time.
