It appears Ministry’s days may be numbered. According to frontman Al Jourgensen, the band will be coming to an end “in an album or two.”

Jourgensen told Yahoo! Entertainment the following about his plans:

“My career is winding down with Ministry. I’m gonna stop Ministry in an album or two. I have to. I have other things I wanna do.

My public and my band are all in agreement that we are being shackled by… We are taking our genre to the farthest limits it can go, and we’re happy with that. And we’ll stop when it’s time instead of keep going and trying to just recreate the same stuff. We keep trying to push further. So, I figure there’s only maybe one more Ministry album to go. Maybe two, but probably one.”

He also added:

“I have other things to do. I have projects that I’m working on with various people. I have film scores. And Ministry, now we’re being held to the standard of this new Ministry of, okay, either push further or do the most popular stuff over and over and over and over, which we have with ‘Psalm 69’ or something like that. I’m tired of that. We’re all tired of that. Well, we are. The fans aren’t. So I think this next year or two is gonna be really transformative in the sense that I’m wrapping a bow on my entire career and saying, ‘Drop mic. Thank you. Thank you for buying our t-shirts… Good night. And now I hope you follow me on my next journey.”

Jourgensen also revealed that the band are currently re-recording material from “With Sympathy” and that he feels it will “tie a bow on the whole thing, and just say, ‘Drop mic. Good night. I’m outta here.’” One track the band are remaking is “Revenge,” but “Effigy,” “Work For Love,” and “Here We Go” may follow. Jourgensen also said the he thinks fans will be able to here the re-recordings soon.
