HATE TO GO (TAKE OUT OR DELIVERY) ALBUM - MINISTRY | TRACKLIST, RELEASE DATE & DETAILS

Ministry, the industrial-metal band led by Al Jourgensen, are bowing out with their 17th studio album — "Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)" — out October 30, 2026 on Cleopatra Records.

Announced as the band's final album after a 45-year career, the record reunites Jourgensen with former bassist Paul Barker after 23 years on the closing track. The farewell is the band's announced plan — they retired once before, in 2008, before returning — but this time the goodbye is being presented as the genuine end of the road.
