Ministry leader Al Jourgensen says he’ll turn his attention to the band’s next album in early 2019.
They’re currently on tour across North America – a run that'll conclude with two nights at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on December 20 and 21.
But once the festive period wraps up, Jourgensen says he’ll begin work on the follow-up to this year’s AmeriKKKant.
He tells Consequence Of Sound: “This tour pretty much closes out our touring on AmeriKKKant, and then we immediately – as of the first of the year – go into starting to record the new Ministry record.
“I have a studio in my house that is currently under construction to make it ready for next year. So when I go back, we’ll go right into production on a new Ministry record and just record for the next six months – very similar to what we did for The Land Of Rape And Honey and just record a bunch.
“If Jello wants to come down to L.A. and sing a couple of songs…”
Jourgensen reports that he doesn’t know how long the album will take because they might do “side projects with Revolting Cocks or Lard.”
He also says a collaboration with Gary Numan is a possibility as the pair live close to each other. "We just talked about that the other day," he says. "That may happen, so who knows, it may take a full year, maybe two years before the Ministry record comes out, but we start recording January 1.”
