Just seven months after the release of their latest album Hopiumforthemasses, industrial metal pioneers Ministry have just announced that they have signed to Cleopatra Records. The latter will release their final studio album in 2025. The album will see the return of Paul Barker, who was the band's multi-instrumentalist from 1986 to 2003 and officially rejoined earlier this year.

Brian Perera, president of Cleopatra Records, comments on the signing: "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 Jourgensen 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 Barker 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!"

I'm not sure if Al is serious this time, but this is like the 5th to 10th time he's said he wouldn't make any more Ministry records.
