Music: Ministry Release Final Album Hate To Go: 17th Studio Album Arrives With Crickets Music Video
Industrial metal band Ministry released their 17th and final studio album, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), through Cleopatra Records on October 30, and launched the official music video for the new single Crickets the same day. The video accompanying this story comes from the official channel of the releasing label, Cleopatra Records.
The 10-track album takes up themes including social collapse and machines taking over. The band had previously released the singles Singularity, Burned Out and We Hate ahead of the album. The Crickets video was directed by Dean Karr, who has worked with Korn, Ozzy Osbourne and Queens Of The Stone Age.
Ministry were founded in Chicago in 1981 by singer Al Jourgensen, the band's only constant member. The band will tour behind the farewell album, appearing at Australia's Good Things Festival in December 2026 before a European farewell tour from April 2027, with U.S. dates yet to be announced.
