Your time on this planet has passed … we are in control,” warns a cyborg in Ministry’s dystopian new single “Singularity.” As new fears of AI dooming humanity have come to the surface in recent days, Al Jourgensen and co. have created a timely new song for the apocalypse.
See the robotic takeover unfurl in the music video directed by Ben Garcia (Rage4Order Designs) in coordination with Al Jourgensen and Joshua Bradford (ex-Revolting Cocks) HERE.
“Singularity” is the latest taste of Ministry’s final album Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery) coming October 30 on Cleopatra Records, following on the heels of earlier singles “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.
Since 1981, Ministry and Jourgensen have been recognized as pioneers of industrial music with a history built upon 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 the countless numbers of devoted acolytes and fans.
But before bidding adieu, creator and music madman Al Jourgensen has a few final things to say about the state of the world, those in charge and how we should all collectively move forward on the final album.
Notably, Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery)—Ministry’s 17th release—features one final collaboration with legacy member Paul Barker on the final album track “We’re Still Here,” alongside the handiwork of current Ministry bandmates, guitarists Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto, bassist Paul D’ Amour, sampler/synth player John Bechdel and drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña.
The full track list is as follows:
1. Crickets
2. Voices of Hate
3. Clown Car
4. We Hate
5. Delete
6. Grifter
7. The White Man Lied*
8. Singularity
9. Burned Out
10. We’re Still Here (ft. Paul Barker)
