Al Jourgensen has announced that he is finally ready to end Ministry's activities . The American vocalist had previously commented on his plan to end Ministry soon.
In an interview on the Full Metal Jackie podcast, Al Jourgensen revealed that he lost his enthusiasm for making music with Ministry [transcription via Loudwire ]: “My ears are tired of music. That’s why I’m ending Ministry, it’s not so much because of health issues, conflicts with the band or anything like that. It’s just that my ears are tired. I’m starting to feel like I’m really punishing myself, not repeating things I’ve already done before and trying to keep going further. It gets harder as you keep going.”
Jourgensen emphasized that there is still hope for Ministry's final project: "We're going to make one last album and one last tour."
And about the new album, he concluded: "That doesn't mean the next album won't be great, because it already is. We're halfway there and it sounds incredible. Incredible. But I'm just saying it's a different vibe."
The pioneering industrial rock band, formed in 1981, will embark on The Squirrely Years , starting on April 29th, with a special set featuring the band's early work.
