From Beer to Eternity

The thirteenth album, released on 6 September 2013 on AFM Records, catalogue number AFMCD462. Spiritual Beast issued the Japanese edition as IUCP-16173 with three remixes added, fourteen tracks in all. Eleven songs, from Hail to His Majesty (Peasants) to Enjoy the Quiet. The band's own biography counts the administration of last rites to Ministry no fewer than three times; the total of seventeen albums is what is left after those endings were withdrawn. The guitarist Mike Scaccia died on 22 December 2012, months before this record appeared, after collapsing onstage at a show in Fort Worth, Texas. The running order here is the original release's as printed; the three extra songs on the Japanese edition are not included.
