Ministry maestro Al Jourgensen is out of rehab, and taking a go at being a TV weatherman.
July 8, Ministry are releasing Last Tangle in Paris: Live 2012 in 2CD/Blu-ray, 2CD/DVD and a single-LP vinyl editions. live performances from the band’s 2012 DeFiBrilLaTouR reunion tour.
“Al Jourgensen has no intention to tour Ministry ever again,” riiiiiight… In fact, Jourgensen has already announced via his Facebook page that he intends to put Ministry back together to tour North and South America, Europe, Mexico, Australia and Japan, and each night perform last year’s From Beer to Eternity in its entirety.
He still vows, though, that in the wake of guitarist Mike Scaccia’s death in late 2012, there will be no more new Ministry music, regardless of any touring.
