Iron Reagan – Worse Than Dead
A389, 2013
8/10
If you long for the
glory days of crossover, when the fusing of metal and hardcore gave us bands
like Excel, Wehrmacht, Gang Green, you might as well go purchase this debut EP
from Iron Reagan right now. Fast thrash riffs combine with breakneck-speed
drumming and shouted vocals to deliver non-nonsense songs that get right to the
point. There’s no screwing around – nothing is over 2 minutes long, and a
whopping 19 songs clocks in at just 25 minutes. Crossover was pretty well beat
to death in the 80s so don’t except a brilliant new take on the style; enjoy
Iron Reagan for what it is – fun, short blasts of thrash that delivers a punch
to the gut. Iron Reagan is also notable for featuring members of Municipal
Waste, Darkest Hour, and Cannabis Corpse. If you missed out on the original
crossover craze, Worse Than Dead is
also a great starting point for discovery.
