Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen has been working on the legendary industrial act’s final album with returning classic member Paul Barker. Now, the band has inked a deal with Cleopatra Records for the upcoming release.

“Looking forward to how this new and Final Ministry record comes out,” stated Jourgensen. “Turns out working with Paul is like riding a bike; you never forget how.
