After a highly praised set during Cruel World Fest last year where Ministry played stuff from With Sympathy and Twitch, which was a rare thing, the band has decided to finally revisit their past. On their upcoming “The Squirrely Years Revisited”, the band will revisit and update such old hits as 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.” for a total of 12 tracks. They’ll also be celebrating by doing a spring headline tour celebrating the two older albums for eager fans.
Opening support will come from Ministry’s old-school comrades, including Nitzer Ebb for the first half of the tour, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult for the second half of the tour; and Die Krupps on all dates. Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 14 at 10 AM local time in each market.
“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 will be available in all formats including digital, CD and 4 different vinyl configurations. The full track list includes:
1. Work For Love
2. Here We Go
3. All Day
4. Everyday Is Halloween
5. Revenge
6. I’m Not An Effigy
7. I’m Falling
8. Same Old Madness
9. I’ll Do Anything For You
10. Just Like You [CD ONLY]
11. We Believe [CD ONLY]
12. Over The Shoulder [CD ONLY]
