Ministry’s “Singularity” Sounds the Alarm on a Robotic Takeover

Ministry have released a dystopian new single and video as the countdown to their final studio album continues.

A Machine Takes Control

A cyborg announces that humanity’s time has passed in the video for “Singularity,” turning the song’s fear of a robotic takeover into an apocalyptic scene. The video was directed by Ben Garcia of Rage4Order Designs in coordination with Al Jourgensen and Joshua Bradford.

“Singularity” is the third single from Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), following “Burned Out” and “We Hate.” Cleopatra Records is set to release the album on October 30, 2026. Ministry’s Bandcamp listing identifies it as a pre-order.

The Final Album and Farewell Tour

For Al Jourgensen, the album closes a recording career that helped define industrial rock. Its final track, “We’re Still Here,” features former Ministry member Paul Barker. The record also includes contributions from guitarists Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto, bassist Paul D’Amour, synth player John Bechdel, and drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña.

Ministry are preparing a farewell tour, with a Goodbye Europe 2027 run scheduled to begin in Utrecht on April 2. Die Krupps are listed as special guests for the European shows. Fans can check the band’s official tour page for dates and details.

“Singularity” puts the approaching end of Ministry’s studio catalog in stark terms: the machines have the screen, Jourgensen still has the microphone, and the final album is on its way.

Sepultura Announce Farewell EP The Cloud of Unknowing as Final Chapter Nears

After more than four decades of redefining extreme metal, Sepultura prepare to close the book with one last powerful statement.

Brazilian metal titans Sepultura have officially announced their farewell release, The Cloud of Unknowing EP, marking the beginning of the end for one of the most influential heavy bands in modern music history. Set for release on April 24 via Nuclear Blast Records, the EP captures the band’s final creative chapter as they continue their global “Celebrating Life Through Death” farewell tour.

With more than 40 years behind them, 14 gold records, and performances across 80+ countries, Sepultura stand as Brazil’s uncompromising metal emissaries to the world. From thrash roots to groove-laden innovation, their sound has shaped generations. Now, rather than fade quietly, they’ve chosen to document one final artistic moment.

A Final Creative Statement

The Cloud of Unknowing is described as one of the band’s most diverse and emotionally resonant releases. Across four tracks, the EP reflects both the ferocity and introspection that have defined Sepultura’s legacy. It’s not simply a closing note — it’s a distilled expression of everything the band has become.

Tracklist:

  1. All Souls Rising
  2. Beyond the Dream
  3. Sacred Books
  4. The Place

All vinyl variants include a CD edition housed in a card wallet.

Available Formats:

  • Oxblood
  • Transparent Petrol (Nuclear Blast exclusive)
  • Crystal Clear (band exclusive)
  • Transparent Red (band exclusive)

“The Place” — A Reflection on Identity and Disillusionment

Sepultura have unveiled the EP track “The Place”, accompanied by a powerful new video. Vocalist Derrick Green explains that the song explores the psychological and emotional journey of immigrants seeking refuge, only to confront internalized self-hatred shaped by propaganda and false security.

According to Green, the song’s structure mirrors its lyrical arc — beginning in disappointment and evolving into anger — capturing the emotional transformation at the heart of the story.
