Today Ministry released the digital single for "Permawar," the first offering from the legendary band's new album From Beer To Eternity. "Permawar" is available as a digital download from iTunes, and so far the track has not been released to any other digital etailers. Stream "Permawar" here.
The full length album From Beer To Eternity will be released September 6th, and according to Al Jourgensen, the record will be Ministry's last. It's unknown right now if Ministry will tour behind the new album - Jourgensen initially said there would be no tour, then in a subsequent interview he revealed he needed the money and would "probably" do a tour.
Jourgensen is also developing several other musical projects: He's planning on doing another Buck Satan album, he's got a Ministry-meets-reggae project tentatively titled Dubistry in the works, and he also mentioned in a recent interview that he's hoping to do a college lecture series where he tours college campuses and lectures to students (he admitted he was drunk during the interview, so who knows if the lecture series will come to pass).
Meanwhile the release of Ministry's live CD/DVD Enjoy The Quiet - Live at Wacken 2012, which was recorded at last year's Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany, has been pushed back a few weeks to August 27th. The live collection will be released on CD, DVD, deluxe 2CD/DVD (includes bonus CD), Blu-Ray, vinyl, and digital download.
