(Rock News Desk) Al Jourgensen admits he had no plans to restart Ministry three years after he killed the project � but his country music bandmate persuaded him to change his mind. And the band he said he'd never return to following their 2008 farewell are set to release a new album, Relapse, before the end of the year.

The multi-instrumentalist was working with Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia on their side-project, Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters, when they started jamming a handful of heavier songs.
