Just in time for election day, crossover punks IRON REAGAN call upon thee to join the holy order of thrash on their latest full-length, Crossover Ministry. Across 18 tracks and thirty minutes of frantic, punk-metal fury, IRON REAGAN mix a blitzkrieg of relentlessly catchy riffs and irresistible, mosh-ready grooves with punchy, thrash gallops and hardcore punk attitude.  Watch a teaser for the album, which provides a preview of several tracks on the album and hilariously spoofs late night bible-thumping informercials, here. Formed in 2012, IRON REAGAN are no strangers to the fine art of crossover thrash. Comprised of scene veterans Tony Foresta, Phil Hall, Mark Bronzino, Rob Skotis, and Ryan Parrish, between... 

STARSET’s new album VESSELS is set for release on January 20, 2017 via Razor & Tie.

Fans received their first taste of the new album with the single “Monster” recently. Today (11/4) the song is available at all digital retailers and streaming outlets.

My favorite part about discovering bands is seeing who has potential to become something big and who is going to fade into obscurity. The latter is the most common, obviously, because there’s only so many metal bands that strike it “big.” There’s a photo somewhere where it says Finland has the most metal bands per 100 people or something like that, yet how many Finnish bands can you name? Only the strong survive, and seeing that grow from a band’s first few releases is truly amazing. I was lucky enough to see that happen with Ghost and Nails as Opus Eponymous and Unsilent Death were being released, and I’m hopefully seeing it again right now.

Last month, Swedish blues rock collective CAPTAIN CRIMSON released their delightfully riff-laden Remind full-length via Small Stone.
