Ministry’s Al Jourgensen is Looking to Turn Back the Clock with New Album, North American Tour
After the special vinyl re-release of Ministry‘s albums Twitch and The Land of Rape and Honey and some general positive reactions of the band’s set featuring those albums at Cruel World 2024, Al Jourgensen is taking yet another trip down memory lane. Only this time, it’s focused on some of the band’s more synth pop tracks with the forthcoming release of The Squirrely Years Revisited.
Due out on March 28 via Cleopatra Records, the album is a collection of tracks from roughly 40 years ago that include reworked versions of “Everyday Is Halloween,” “Work For Love,” “I’m Not An Effigy,” and “I’ll Do Anything For You.”
The Squirrely Years Revisited will be available in all formats including digital, CD and 4 different vinyl configurations. It will be released on March 28, but you can preorder your copy today. The full track list includes:
- Work For Love
- Here We Go
- All Day
- Everyday Is Halloween
- Revenge
- I’m Not An Effigy
- I’m Falling
- Same Old Madness
- I’ll Do Anything For You
- Just Like You [CD ONLY]
- We Believe [CD ONLY]

In addition to the forthcoming album release, Ministry announced that they’ll be embarking on The Squirrely Years Tour this April. According to the band, the set during those shows will lean heavily on the older material. You can find the full list of dates below.
