Crossover Ministry is due out February 3rd, 2017 on Relapse Records
“Iron Reagan play a revved-up take on the ‘80s crossover sound, the one where speed metal and hardcore merged into one giddy and pummeling skateboard soundtrack.” – Stereogum
Richmond crossover punks [label.relapse.com/artist/iron-reagan]Iron Reagan have shared a full album stream of Crossover Ministry through Vice’s music portal Noisey. Hear the vicious sermon exclusively via Noisey at this location, who say that “Crossover Ministry parties hard and riffs harder, bringing the mosh with a mix of Tony Foresta’s trademark goofball humor and on-point jibes about the sorry state of the planet.”
Watch the previously released. official music video for “Bleed the Fifth” at this location. Follow the strung-out antics of two rogue cops, played by the stars of Comedy Central’s new show Delco Proper (http://www.cc.com/shows/delco-proper), who stumble into the wrong crowd at the wrong time.
Recorded by guitarist Phil “Landphil” Hall and mixed by Kurt Ballou, Crossover Ministry features 30 minutes of relentlessly catchy riffs and irresistibly mosh-ready breakdowns paired with lyrics that run the gamut from satyrical to serious. In the wake of one of the most controversial presidential elections in American history, Crossover Ministry couldn’t have come at a better time.
