In the wake of one of the most controversial presidential elections in American history, crossover punks Iron Reagan have premiered their incredibly topical album opener “A Dying World” today. Musically, the song features the band’s trademark frantic punk/metal fury while lyrically, it touches on the worldwide demise of mankind as we know it.
“A Dying World” appears on Iron Regan’s forthcoming record Crossover Ministry which is due out February 3rd from Relapse Records. The album, the band’s third, was recorded by Iron Reagan guitarist Phil “Landphil” Hall and mixed by Kurt Ballou. In its 18 tracks, Crossover Ministry features 30 minutes of relentlessly catchy riffs, mosh-ready grooves and astutely relevant lyrics.
Iron Reagan, who formed in 2012, are no strangers to the crossover/thrash scene. Comprised of Tony Foresta, Phil Hall, Mark Bronzino, Rob Skotis, and Ryan Parrish, between them they fill, or have filled the ranks of Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse, Mammoth Grinder, Darkest Hour and numerous other bands.
