Hate to Go – Take Out or Delivery

Ministry released their seventeenth and final studio album, Hate to Go – Take Out or Delivery, on October 30, 2026. Cleopatra Records handled the distribution for this project, which Al Jourgensen produced himself. The announcement arrived alongside the premiere of the lead single "Burned Out," setting a tone for the band's exit from the recording industry.

This record introduces drummer Pepe Clarke, who appears solely on this studio release before leaving the group. It also marks the return of Paul Barker after a twenty-three year absence. Barker contributes to the track "We're Still Here," ending a long hiatus from the band's lineup. Jourgensen confirmed the end of his musical career with a blunt statement about being finished with performing and recording.

The album features nine tracks that revisit the band's aggressive industrial metal sound. Themes of alienation, consumerism, and dystopian absurdity run through the lyrics. Pre-order options included a green splatter vinyl LP and a deluxe box set priced at USD 27.98. Singles such as "We Hate" and "Singularity" preceded the full release to promote the upcoming farewell tour scheduled for 2027. [edit]
