After more than four decades Ministry is coming to an end and besides the final album “Hate to Go – Take Out or Delivery”, that will be out next October 30, they will also embark on a farewell tour. The band that was formed in Chicago, Illinois back in 1981, already announced a bunch of dates in the United States and Europe.
“I’m f*cking done. 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,” Al Jourgensen said.
The band’s current line-up has Al Jourgensen, Paul Barker, John Bechdel, Cesar Soto, Paul D’Amour, Monte Pittman and Pepe Clarke. The band is best known for their praised and successful album released in the late 80s and early 90s, like “ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ”, released in 1992, which had songs like “N.W.O.”, “Just One Fix” and “Jesus Built my Hotrod”.
