Ministry announce tour & new album - 'Relapse'
Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 3:39 PM 
Industrial metal band Ministry is currently working on a new album. After 2007’s The Last Sucker, Ministry took a four-year break. Now the boys are back, though, with Relapse, out March 30 from Planet Records (frontman Al Jourgensen’s own label).
Ministry will apparently release the album’s single digitally on December 23. The track, entitled “99 Percenters”, is obviously about Occupy Wall Street.
Jourgensen and crew will also do a bit of touring this summer in support of the album. Due to health issues, the band is only playing five American dates (in Denver, LA, New York, and Chicago) and a couple of European festivals. Check out the album art above and the full tour schedule below.
