Less than three years since the broke up after 27 years together, Ministry is getting back together (or at least Al Jourgensen is recording under the Ministry name)  for a new album, according to frontman Al Jourgensen. Apparently he was working on a different project, and had a handful of songs that weren't a fit for that, and he decided it was time to bring back Ministry. He says it's going to be out by Christmas:

“While I was working on [the Buck Satan record], me and Mike Scaccia from Rigor Mortis fucked around to pass the time and we had like, 5,6,7 songs and I didn’t really want to do anything with them but Mikey was like, “dude these songs are awesome.” They weren’t country, they were more like Ministry. So he’s coming by in September and Tommy Victor’s coming by in October with Tony Campos and we’re gona finish up and put out another Ministry album by Christmas called ‘Relapse.’”
