They say nothing heals like music, and after this presidential election, it might just be the only thing we have left. Iron Reagan’s new album Crossover Ministry seems to come at the perfect time, filled with relentlessly catchy riffs and irresistibly mosh-ready breakdowns paired with lyrics that run the gamut from satyrical to serious, offering listeners a cathartic experience for current events. The band teamed up with New Noise Magazine for an “Inauguration from Hell” cover feature (pictured below) illustrated by Matt Stikker (@bargainbinblasphemy). Their exclusive track “Take the Fall” was unveiled on Thursday (1/19) right in time for your inauguration rage.
“Take the Fall” is part of New Noise’s flex series and was recently featured on Noisey. Crossover Ministry is due out February 3rd via Relapse Records and was recorded by guitarist Phil “Landphil” Hall, mixed by Kurt Ballou.
You can pick up a copy of the New Noise Magazine with the limited flex disc, and an 18×24 screen printed poster here. All proceeds go towards the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Mission Statement from Southern Poverty Law Center: “Dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society. Using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy, the SPLC works toward the day when the ideals of social justice and equal opportunity will become a reality.”
