Industrial metal powerhouse Ministry brought explosive energy to the Ronnie James Dio Stage at Bloodstock Open Air 2025, delivering a crushing performance of their classic track, “Just One Fix” to a packed field of metal fans in Catton Park.

Captured live during their special guest slot before Machine Head, this set became one of the most talked-about moments of the 2025 festival weekend.,“Just One Fix” remains a defining track in Ministry’s catalog — a fierce industrial metal anthem fueled by punk aggression, mechanical rhythms and razor-edged production that helped cement Ministry as pioneers of the genre.

This Bloodstock performance captures the raw impact and enduring influence of their sound on modern heavy music.,In 2025, for the first time ever, Ministry shared an official music video for the eternal hit, “Everyday Is Halloween”.

Originally released in 1984, Al Jourgensen’s rally cry for the goth community and misunderstood creatures of the night has remained a cult classic over the decades and is finally being given the visual treatment it deserves.,Says Jourgensen, “I’m amazed and honored that folks are still listening to this song 40 years on.

Fly that freak flag proudly.”,“Everyday Is Halloween” is one of the cuts on the new album, The Squirrely Years Revisited, out now via Cleopatra Records that sees Jourgensen making peace with the past.

After the incredible reception to Ministry’s With Sympathy and Twitch-heavy set at Cruel World 2024, Jourgensen decided it was time to reexamine his long-dormant synth pop hits and give them a fresh polish 40 years later.,Featuring nine tracks (three additional bonus tracks on CD), The Squirrely Years Revisited offers reworked versions of not only “Everyday Is Halloween,” but also “Work For Love,” “I’m Not An Effigy,” and “I’ll Do Anything For You.”,The Squirrely Years Revisited follows the release of Ministry’s 16th studio album in 2024, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES, and comes ahead of the final new studio album from Ministry in 2026, a record that has Jourgensen teaming up with Paul Barker once again.,The Squirrely Years Revisited is available in all formats including digital, CD and 4 different vinyl configurations.
