Al Jourgensen is finally making peace with the past. After the incredible reception to MINISTRY‘s “With Sympathy” and “Twitch”-heavy set at Cruel World 2024, Jourgensen decided it was time to reexamine his long-dormant synth pop hits and give them a fresh polish 40 years later. The result is the forthcoming album “The Squirrely Years Revisited”, out March 28 via Cleopatra Records.

Featuring nine tracks (three additional bonus tracks on CD),the album offers reworked versions of cult classic hits like “Everyday Is Halloween”, “Work For Love”, “I’m Not An Effigy” and “I’ll Do Anything For You”. New music videos will soon be released for several tracks as well.

“Since I hated my early stuff for decades, I decided to take ownership of it and do it right,” says Jourgensen.

“The Squirrely Years Revisited” follows the release of MINISTRY‘s 16th studio album in 2024, “Hopiumforthemasses”, and comes ahead of the final new studio album from MINISTRY in 2026, a record that has Jourgensen teaming up with Paul Barker once again.

“The Squirrely Years Revisited” will be available in all formats including digital, CD and four different vinyl configurations. The full track list includes:

01. Work For Love
02. Here We Go
