The robotic takeover can be seen unfurling in a music video directed by Ben Garcia (Rage4Order Designs) in coordination with Al Jourgensen and Joshua Bradford (ex-Revolting Cocks).

‘Singularity’ is the third single to be lifted from ‘Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)’, the final album by Ministry out on 30th October via Cleopatra Records. It follows the previously issued ‘Burned Out’ and ‘We Hate’. The album puts an end cap on an incredible 45-year career that has shaped a whole genre of music.

Ever since 1981, Ministry and Jourgensen have been recognised as pioneers of industrial music across 17 studio albums, 8 live releases, 8 side projects, multiple touring campaigns across 5 continents, an autobiography, 2 documentaries, the administration of last rites no less than 3 times, and, of course, by the band’s countless devoted acolytes and fans.

However, before bidding adieu, creator and music madman Jourgensen has a few things to say on ‘Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)’ about the state of the world, those in charge and how we should all collectively move forward.

The album also features one notable final collaboration with legacy member Paul Barker on its very last track, ‘We’re Still Here’, alongside the handiwork of Jourgensen’s current bandmates: guitarists Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto, bassist Paul D’Amour, synth player John Bechdel and drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña.

The album will be available on vinyl (including several variants), CD and cassette, as well as digitally.

Jourgensen lays it all on the line with MINISTRY’s farewell album, “Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)”, set for release on October 30 via Cleopatra Records. Giving fans an early preview of what’s to come, the band has unveiled the album’s first single, “Burned Out,” accompanied by its official music video.

Watch the official music video for “Burned Out,” directed by Joshua Bradford, formerly of REVOLTING COCKS, below.

Since emerging in 1981, MINISTRY and founder Al Jourgensen have stood among the pioneers of industrial music. Over the decades, the band has built an extraordinary legacy that includes 17 studio albums, eight live releases, eight side projects, extensive tours across five continents, an autobiography, two documentaries, three farewell announcements, and a loyal global following that has remained devoted throughout its remarkable career.

On marking the end of an era, Jourgensen shares: “I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from ‘With Sympathy’ to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”

Marking MINISTRY’s 17th studio album, “Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)” also includes one final collaboration with longtime member Paul Barker, who appears on the closing track, “We’re Still Here.” The album additionally showcases the talents of the band’s current lineup: guitarists Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto, bassist Paul D’Amour, sampler and keyboard player John Bechdel, and drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña.
