Ministry‘s ongoing farewell touring recently saw the industrial metal legends open the vaults, delivering the first live performance of the “Psalm 69” track “Scarecrow” since 2003. That airing took place this past Tuesday, September 15th, during the Ministry‘s show with Acid Bath at the Red Rocks in Morrison, CO. Fan-filmed footage of that setlist return can be seen below.
That show also saw former bassist, etc. Paul Barker hit the stage with the group once again, guesting on the “Filth Pig” track “Useless“, which the group and Barker gave a live debut to earlier this year.
Ministry are set to launch their final studio album “Hate To Go – Take Out Or Delivery” on October 30th. Earlier today, September 18th, they debuted their new track “Singularity“ from it. Interestingly, while much was made of Barker also being involved in that swan song record, he is only credited as participating in one of the featured tracks.
