Industrial band Ministry will release its 17th and final studio album, *Hate To Go (Take Out or Delivery)*, on 30 October, marking frontman Al Jourgensen’s decision to end the group’s recording career. Jourgensen said he was proud of Ministry’s long journey but was “completely at peace” with finishing, while the band will also undertake an international farewell tour in 2027.

The album is being released by Cleopatra Records and is previewed by the single “Burned Out”; its closing track, “We’re Still Here”, reunites Jourgensen with former member Paul Barker. Ministry, founded in Chicago in 1981 and regarded as an industrial-music pioneer, will begin its Goodbye Europe Tour in Utrecht on 2 April 2027 with Die Krupps, before a planned US leg; several final US dates are also scheduled for 2026.
