I haven’t posted to this board in years, but this development (along with the With Sympathy throwback performance) has brought me back and made me interested again. I can’t really imagine what they’ll do considering the trilogy they left on was so sludgy and experimental. Will they continue where Animositisomina left off or go in a more “retrospective” self-conscious direction where they try to recreate the glory days? It’s hard to really imagine anything other than a mix of those two things at this point but I’m excited either way.!

Could be the only thing that brings my excitement back for this band. Nuministry is fucking brutal.
Even if a new album gets made and it sucks balls they’d have earned my 20 bucks just for setting the bullshit aside and taking one more crack at it for old times sake
Barker’s LID and Flowering Blight stuff has been pretty good so I think the dude still has something to offer that could offset some of Als bad habits like the embarrassing song titles, album covers, and the angsty boogery song production
Still waiting for the follow-up to Animositisomina.
Take your time boys, i would.

AL JOURGENSEN And PAUL BARKER Sign With CLEOPATRA RECORDS For Final MINISTRY Studio Album
October 7, 2024
Cleopatra Records has announced the signing of the legendary industrial band MINISTRY, featuring key members Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker.
Brian Perera, president of Cleopatra Records, shared his excitement about the reunion: “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome MINISTRY back home to Cleopatra. We’ve always taken great care of their classic Wax Trax! recordings, and now, as we reunite with Paul and Al, we’re ready to continue honoring and expanding their iconic legacy.”
Al says: “Looking forward to how this new and FINAL MINISTRY record comes out. Turns out working with Paul is like riding a bike; you never forget how. Buckle up, this is going to be a good one. It seems that everything has come full circle, with the re-inclusion of Paul for the FINAL record, it’s like wrapping a bow on a 40-plus-year career.”
Paul adds: “After a couple years apart, these new recording sessions started in our tried-and-true manner: we started going in opposite directions that circled around which inevitably forced us to meet in the middle, much like a particle accelerator!”
MINISTRY’s return to Cleopatra Records marks a new chapter for the band and their fans, with their highly anticipated last-ever album due in 2025. This release promises to capture the essence of MINISTRY’s groundbreaking sound while delivering fresh, innovative tracks that will resonate with both longtime followers and new listeners alike.

Interesting what they will come up with.
As for Animositisomina mix, one of the bandmembers of that time (can’t remember who exactly) was asked about the mix of the album and the response was that mixing was all done by Al.

Good to see you back Gila. Some of us were concerned you got caught up with Russia’s campaign.
