More music is in from Ministry‘s approaching farewell record. The influential industrial metal outfit have announced “Hate to Go – Take Out or Delivery” as their final studio album, with an October 30th release date set for it. Yet another politically charged track in the form of “We Hate” is the second to make it out from it. This latest politically-oriented track seems to have reserved its ire for a certain U.S. President, calling out an 80-year-old ‘grifter’/’whore’, while also decrying a democracy becoming an autocracy.
While much was made about the band reuniting in the studio with past bassist, etc. Paul Barker for this last hurrah, a press release issued in late July indicated that Barker only guested on the final track, the as-yet unreleased “We’re Still Here“.
As it stands at the moment, the band have begun rolling out the dates for their last touring cycle as well, with the below dates confirmed:
09/15 Morrison, CO – Red Rocks (feat. Acid Bath, Twin Tribes & Windhand)
09/20 Louisville, KY – Louder Than Life
