In an April 2011 interview with Mick Stingley of Rocksalt.mx, Al Jourgensen stated about his recent health scare, "I've been puking up blood and stuff for the last six years and didn't know why I just thought that was all part of being on a rock tour! (laughs) Seriously, I'd tell my wife, Angie, and she'd say, 'You've gotta see a doctor!' And I'd say, "I'm fine! I've been doing this for years!" And I had no idea; I just thought that's the way it was supposed to be. So last year, last March, about maybe a year ago last week I bled out. I lost sixty-five per cent of my blood and it turns out I had thirteen ulcers. Perfect number, thirteen 13th Planet Records (Al's record label. Ed.) thirteen ulcers! And one of them exploded in my lower intestine. So all the blood would collect there and then come out I was bleeding out of my nose, my mouth and peeing blood. And then blood was pouring out of my ass. And if I would try to stand up, I would faint and pass out; my blood pressure was well, by the time I got to the hospital, my blood pressure was thirty over twenty. . . The last thing I remember I woke up out of a seizure; I was going into seizures and I woke up and I saw them getting that goddamn defibrillator ready. And I looked over at Angie and I go, 'I don't think I'm gonna make it this time, am I?' . . . I've died a couple of times, you know, back in the day, when I OD'd, and had defibrillators and stuff like that. But this would have been my third time. So I'm figuring third time's the charm because I was pretty surprised when I woke up. I was in this room with a bunch of tubes in my arm and I got the full Keith Richards treatment, man they gave me one hundred per cent new blood! A complete blood transfusion; so I was in the hospital for a while. When I got out of there, I figured that was a pretty close call, and I just made a promise to, like fans and friend and foe alike that before I die I'm gonna do this goddamn country record that I've been talking about for thirty years! (laughs)"

MINISTRY, arguably the most influential industrial band to date, punctuated the close of its 30-year recording career with 2007's "The Last Sucker". A remix album, "The Last Dubber", an appropriately beguiling album that dabbles in both trance and metal, followed in 2009.
