Ministry’s Al Jourgensen is revisiting the past with The Squirrely Years Revisited, out March 28 via Cleopatra Records. Pre-orders are available here. The album features new studio versions of early synth-pop classics, including “Everyday Is Halloween,” “Work For Love,” and “I’ll Do Anything For You.”
To celebrate, Ministry will embark on The Squirrely Years Tour, kicking off April 29 with support from Nitzer Ebb, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, and Die Krupps. Tickets go on sale this Friday (14) at 10 AM local time.
