YACA! Still, this one will be interesting. This is being released in addition to the band's final studio album.

From Blabbermouth.net:

According to MTV.com, MINISTRY has set "Cover Up" as the title of its upcoming CD of covers — some new, some old. The disc will feature numerous guests, including STATIC-X's Wayne Static (singing "I Want You [She's So Heavy]" by THE BEATLES); CHEAP TRICK's Robin Zander (singing GOLDEN EARRING's "Radar Love"); FEAR FACTORY's Burton Bell (ROLLING STONES' "Under My Thumb"); and MINISTRY/PRONG guitarist Tommy Victor and MOUNTAIN guitarist Leslie West (MOUNTAIN's "Mississippi Queen"). "Cover Up" will also include previously released covers of BLACK SABBATH's "Supernaut", BOB DYLAN's "Lay Lady Lay", THE DOORS' "Roadhouse Blues" (which is on MINISTRY's upcoming all-new studio CD, "The Last Sucker") and MAGAZINE's "The Light That Pours Out of Me".

MINISTRY will support "The Last Sucker" with one final worldwide tour with a lineup including mainman Al Jourgensen, bassist Paul Raven (KILLING JOKE, PRONG) , Victor, guitarist Sin Quirin (REVOLTING COCKS), drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (ex-MEGADETH) and keyboardist John Bechdel. But while Jourgensen is looking forward to the tour, he also looks forward to putting the lid on the MINISTRY coffin.

"Man, I'm so looking forward to not being the front guy on a brand name," he told MTV.com. "When I was growing up, I loved LED ZEPPELIN, and I always wanted to be Jimmy Page. But I ended up being Robert Plant by default. I was the singer and the frontman when I always wanted to be — like in 'Wizard of Oz', the guy behind the curtain. I get so much more done when I'm on the sidelines, and it's more suited to my personality. I'm a studio rat. I always will be. And now I'll be able to do, like, six projects a year, so it's actually much better. You'll actually get more sick of Al Jourgensen faster than if I was to keep doing Ministry. So I view this as my second career, not a retirement."

Here's Ministry's final "official" album [lilred]The Last Sucker[/lilred], coming on September 18, 2007:

Amazon.com
Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen has announced that The Last Sucker is the band's last stab. And that's as it should be, for the 11-track recording finds the outfit in the finest form it's been for more than a decade, harkening back to classic Ministry output such as A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste and Psalm 69. Throughout, Jourgensen smashes and thrashes eardrums and illusions with "Watch Yourself," "The Dick Song," and the title cut with all the angst of a man who's spent more than two decades battling normalcy, pop radio, and the White House. Never one to stray from brutality, he offers it all up here via "No Glory," "End Of Days" (both Part I and Part II), and even a cheeky (but not too cheeky) take on the Doors' classic "Roadhouse Blues." A fine and fitting epitaph for one of America's greatest and most uncompromising bands.


Product Description
Deep in the heart of Hell Paso Texas, Ministry’s Al Jourgensen’s studio has been at warp speed for the past year, furiously hammering out the third and final edition of the trilogy, The Last Sucker follows 2004’s Houses Of The Mole and 2006’s Rio Grande Blood. After twelve albums and 27 years (including four Grammy nominations), Uncle Al’s decided the Ministry garage is ready to close its doors, leaving The Last Sucker as the final Ministry studio offering. Welcome to the renegade road warrior Al Jourgensen’s latest behemoth an off-the-map, 12 hundred horsepower vehicle. Fuel-injected with equal parts fury, disgust, distrust and dismay, spitting and sizzling with grease and venom, each joint heaves under the pressure of emotionally relentless delivery. From the first double-digit salvo of ‘Let’s Go,’ with its deliciously bizarre trademark Ministry wasteland brutality, Jourgensen outlays a glorious smorgasbord of Ministry mayhem. Strap on ‘Death & Destruction’ for joyriding thrills, ‘Watch Yourself’ for its distinctive Ministry ‘sample and slam you’ warning, ‘The Dick Song,’ for Ministry’s tribute to the current US Veep, and a propane-powered cover of The Doors ‘Roadhouse Blues.’
