Industrial pioneers Ministry have unveiled a brand new single and video, “We Hate”, offering another fierce preview of their upcoming and final studio album Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), set for release on 30 October via Cleopatra Records. The video, directed by Joshua Bradford, can be viewed below.
“We Hate” marks the second track revealed from the album, following July’s single “Burned Out”. Together, the songs signal a closing chapter in a monumental 45‑year career that has defined, reshaped, and expanded the boundaries of industrial music.
Since forming in 1981, Al Jourgensen and Ministry have carved an unmistakable legacy across 17 studio albums, eight live releases, numerous side projects, relentless touring across five continents, an autobiography, two documentaries, and a global community of devoted followers. Their influence remains foundational to the genre.
Before Ministry take their final bow, Jourgensen uses Hate To Go to deliver a last, unfiltered commentary on the state of the world, the systems that govern it, and the collective responsibility to move forward. The album also features a notable final collaboration with longtime member Paul Barker on its closing track, “We’re Still Here”, alongside contributions from Ministry’s current lineup: Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto (guitars), Paul D’Amour (bass), John Bechdel (synths), and Pepe Clarke Magaña (drums).
Ministry will support the release with an international farewell tour, performing new material and selected classics. The run includes 21 “Goodbye Europe 2027” shows with special guests Die Krupps, beginning in early April. Exclusive meet‑and‑greet packages with Jourgensen will be available, offering a photo opportunity, souvenir laminate, silk‑screen poster, and a commemorative final European tour coin.
With “We Hate”, Ministry continue to confront the world with the intensity, grit, and uncompromising spirit that defined their entire existence — one last transmission before the machines power down. Link
