Ministry return with its fourth live release Enjoy The Quiet - Live at Wacken 2012 in August. The recording is taken from the band's August 3, 2012 appearance at the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany. The massive festival gig was the band's last stop on their tour in support of Relapse, and includes the last pro-shot footage of guitarist Mike Scaccia performing with Ministry. Enjoy The Quiet will debut at this year's Wacken Festival (August 1st - 3rd) and will be released on CD, DVD, deluxe 2CD/DVD (includes bonus CD), Blu-Ray, vinyl, and digital download on August 13th. Check out the trailer below:

Ministry is also releasing its final album From Beer To Eternity on September 6th, with the album's first single, "Permawar," to drop in late July (pushed back from June). Ministry began working on the album in December, just days before Mike Scaccia's death. According to Al Jourgensen, the December session was like no other session:
"We have never, in the history of Ministry, ever had a tracking session like that before...everything went so smoothly, it was surreal. And Mikey was so on fire and inspired, and really a driving force for this record."
Months later, Jourgensen decided to finish up the album, and though it was a bittersweet experience, he says he's proud of the result:
"I'm super proud of From Beer to Eternity because it's my tribute to Mikey's incredible talent, and I feel it honors him and all of the years we spent together making music.”

Finally, don't forget about the book that will most likely be the best read of 2013: Al Jourgensen's autobiography, The Lost Gospels According To Al Jourgensen, is due to be published on July 9th. Read more about the book here.
