Ministry to release ‘The Squirrely Years Revisited’, announce tour with Nitzer Ebb & more

Ministry is revisiting their synth-pop roots with The Squirrely Years Revisited, dropping March 28 via Cleopatra Records. 

Frontman Al Jourgensen has reworked tracks like "Everyday Is Halloween," "Work For Love," and "I'm Not An Effigy." The album includes 9 tracks with 3 bonus tracks on CD, plus upcoming music videos.

Jourgensen shared the following:

Since I hated my early stuff for decades, I decided to take ownership of it and do it right

To mark the release, Ministry—featuring John Bechdel, Monte Pittman, Cesar Soto, Pepe Clarke Magaña, and Paul D'Amour—will hit the road for "The Squirrely Years Tour" starting April 29. The run will spotlight Jourgensen's early work with Nitzer Ebb (first half), My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult (second half), and Die Krupps on all dates. 

Tickets set to go on sale Friday, February 14 at 10 AM local time.
