Rather than treating the occasion as a sentimental farewell, Jourgensen points backward to the ferocious combination of electronics, sampling, distorted guitar, and mechanized rhythm that transformed Ministry during their \u003cstrong\u003eSire\/Wax Trax! years\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost significantly, the album features a guest appearance from \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Barker\u003c\/strong\u003e, Jourgensen’s former Ministry and Revolting Cocks partner. Barker was an integral part of Ministry’s classic period, contributing to the run that stretched from \u003cem\u003eThe Land of Rape and Honey\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste\u003c\/em\u003e through \u003cem\u003ePsalm 69\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFilth Pig\u003c\/em\u003e. His return gives the record a tangible connection to the lineup that helped establish the vocabulary of industrial metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe track titles suggest Jourgensen isn't leaving quietly. \u003cstrong\u003e“Crickets”\u003c\/strong\u003e opens the album before “Voices of Hate,” “Clown Car,” “We Hate,” and “Delete” fill out the first side. Side two begins with the pointedly titled “Grifter,” followed by “Singularity” and “Burned Out,” before Ministry bring the album, and potentially their studio-recording career, to a close with \u003cstrong\u003e“We’re Still Here.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a fittingly defiant title from a band that has survived virtually everything. Since emerging from Chicago in the early 1980s, Ministry have undergone one of alternative music’s most dramatic transformations, moving from synth-pop and new wave through the Wax Trax! underground before helping turn industrial music into something heavier, uglier, and powerful enough to infiltrate the metal mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003elimited-edition vinyl pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e comes on \u003cstrong\u003eblack and silver splatter vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving Ministry’s purported final studio album an appropriately stark physical edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf \u003cem\u003eHate To Go\u003c\/em\u003e really is the end, Ministry aren't using it to soften the edges. \u003cstrong\u003eThey’re returning to the machinery that made them dangerous in the first place, settling old scores, reconnecting with an old conspirator, and leaving the power switched on as they walk out the door.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ministry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48392318779446,"sku":"CLO7334","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/2592\/7222\/files\/ministry-hate-to-go.jpg?v=1793305470","url":"https:\/\/greycatrecords.com\/products\/ministry-hate-to-go-take-out-or-delivery","provider":"Greycat Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
