As we already know, next year, after 11 studio albums and a 27-year-long career, including four Grammy nominations ("N.W.O." in 1993, "Bad Blood" in 2000, "The Great Satan" in 2005, "LiesLiesLies" in 2006), Al Jourgensen will lay Ministry to rest and focus on expanding his own label, 13th Planet Records.

Luckily, before that he'll do a final gesture to his fans around the globe. On September 18 Ministry shall release their last-ever studio album, "The Last Sucker", via the above mentioned record company, followed by a world tour in 2008.

The CD was produced and recorded this past spring by Jourgensen in Texas with the help of guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), bass player Paul Raven (Killing Joke), and drum programmer and sound engineer John Bilberry. In addition, there's Fear Factory's vocalist Burton C. Bell making a guest appearance on three songs - "Die in a Crash" and the two parts of "End of Days".

Among the rest of the 11 tracks on "The Last Sucker" we'll get a cover version of The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues", a tune dedicated to Dick Cheney ("The Dick Song"), and more Ministry peculiarities...

Here's the final tracklist of the effort:

01. Let's Go
02. Watch Yourself
03. Life Is Good
04. The Dick Song
05. The Last Sucker
06. No Glory
