Iron Reagan Signs to Relapse Records
The band that took PWV’s number one spot for the Top 10 Albums of 2013 has just signed with Relapse Records. Iron Reagan hails from Richmond, VA and is somewhat of a thrash supergroup, featuring current and former members of Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse, Darkest Hour, Mammoth Grinder, Suppresion and more. The lineup is Tony Foresta – Vocals, Phil Hall – Guitar, Mark Bronzino – Guitar, Rob Skotis – Bass, and Ryan Parrish – Drums.
The band is currently working on their sophomore album, recording in Torment Studios in Richmond. The album is expected to drop this fall on Relapse Records. Frontman Tony Foresta commented:
“I’ve always wanted to work with Relapse for years. Their reputaion of releasing so much great underground music speaks for itself. We are all extremely excited about signing with Relapse and putting out this rager of an upcoming record. Having Kurt Ballou on board mixing is just the icing on he cake. We are about 75% done tracking the record here with Phil in Richmond and between this and the rad tours we have coming up its looking to be a very exciting year. I couldn’t think of a better label to put this record out on and am really looking forward to a long future with Relapse.”
Iron Reagan will be hitting the road this weekend for a seven week run that includes hitting SXSW. Check out the dates below.
