Iron Reagan is the crossover thrash supergroup formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2012, featuring Municipal Waste vocalist Tony Foresta and members of Darkest Hour, Cannabis Corpse, and other Richmond heavy hitters. Their music is a furious, lightning-fast tribute to '80s crossover thrash and hardcore punk, delivered with the tongue-in-cheek humor of bands like D.R.I. and Suicidal Tendencies. Albums like 'Worse Than Dead' and 'Crossover Ministry' are pure adrenaline rushes, rarely letting a song exceed two minutes.
