Nope. You didn’t read that wrong.
After 27 years, 11 studio albums, four Grammy nominations, and plenty of pain, Ministry mastermind and industrial metal pioneer Al Jourgensen will lay his long-time band to rest. Indeed, September 18th’s The Last Sucker will be Ministry's Final Studio Release, and will be followed by a 2008 farewell tour, and plenty of free time for Jourgensen to devote himself to expanding his borderland compound, 13th Planet Records.
"I've got a lot of side-projects and new projects I want to focus on," explained Jourgensen. "We have our our own label, 13th Planet Records, we're building, and I want to sign, produce and collaborate with other artists. Being in the studio writing, recording and collaborating is my favorite part of this snake-oil industry. I'd rather be behind the console than behind the mic. Plus, I kinda like the synchronicity of Dubya and Ministry riding off into the sunset hand in hand." 13th Planet will be releasing the new Prong Power of the Damager on October 2nd, and Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) project Ascension of The Watchers in Feb 2008.

The Last Sucker, is the third in an unrelenting and uber-critical trilogy aimed at exposing the foils, failures and fabrications perpetrated by the George W. Bush Administration. The Last Sucker, which follows 2004’s Houses of the Molé and last year’s Rio Grande Blood, is the final nail in the Dubya coffin. The album was produced and recorded by Jourgensen himself at his 13th Planet compound in El Paso, TX, with musicians Thomas Victor (Prong) on guitars, Paul Raven (Killing Joke/Prong) on bass and guitarist Sin Quirin (The Revolting Cocks). In addition, Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory, AoTW) makes a vocal appearance on "Die In A Crash," as well as the album's final two songs, "End of Days" parts One and Two.
