Ministry will release their final album, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), on October 30, 2026 via Cleopatra Records. The record contains ten tracks and will be available on LP, CD, cassette, and digitally. This marks the conclusion of a career that began in 1981.
Band leader Al Jourgensen describes the end as a decision he has come to terms with. "I am proud of what I’ve accomplished," he says. "I marvel at the journey we’ve taken, from 'With Sympathy' to where we are today, and everything in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with it being over."
The opening track "Crickets" is released as a new single, accompanied by a video directed by Dean Karr. The song’s explicit message warns of fascism repeating itself and calls on listeners to raise their voices. The album’s lyrics cover social collapse, dishonest leaders, and the prospect of robots taking over.
Three singles precede the release: "Burned Out," "We Hate," and "Singularity," all with accompanying videos. Other tracks include "Voices of Hate," "Clown Car," "Delete," "Grifter," and "The White Man Lied."
On the closing track "We’re Still Here," former member Paul Barker participates in one final collaboration. The recording also features current band members Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto on guitar, Paul D’Amour on bass, John Bechdel on synthesizer, and Pepe Clarke Magaña on drums.
The industrial band’s catalog includes 17 studio albums and eight live releases, along with eight side projects. The band has toured on five continents, and the career has also been documented in an autobiography and two documentaries.
