Ministry releases new single ‘We Hate’ from final studio album
Industrial music band Ministry has released ‘We Hate’, the second single from their upcoming final studio album, ‘Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)’. The album is scheduled for release on October 30, 2026, through Cleopatra Records.
Frontman Al Jourgensen uses the track to address American politics and culture, specifically targeting Donald Trump. The accompanying music video was directed by Joshua Bradford. The ten-track album features a final collaboration with former bassist Paul Barker on the closing track, ‘We’re Still Here’. The rest of the record features the current lineup, including Monte Pittman, Cesar Soto, Paul D’Amour, John Bechdel, and Pepe Clarke Magaña.
To mark the end of their 45-year career, the band will embark on an international farewell campaign. This includes a ‘Goodbye Europe Tour’ starting in April 2027, with dates spanning the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.
