Dead Cross @dead_cross_official “Christian Missile Crisis” from the album, II. Purchase link in bio. Video compiled and edited by Displaced/Replaced @displaced_replaced Thanks to Internet Archive (and others) for the majority of the sourced footage Live Dead Cross footage from Open’er Festival July 2018 Justin Pearson explains the themes behind the song: “’Christian Missile Crisis’ takes an obvious jab at organized religion, NRA-holes who clearly compensate for their lack of masculinity by fixating on gun ownership and gun ‘rights,’ and the fact that a large enough amount of Americans have the inability to negotiate peace and prefer oppressing others.” II, while both a raucous hardcore collection, and at times, a politically-charged opus, has its roots in friendship, with the band rallying together after Crain @michaeljasoncrain received a surprise cancer diagnosis. “Words can’t even begin to describe how much this album means to me. It’s birthed of pain and uncertainty,” adds Crain. “The slow, excruciatingly painful, and nauseating recovery from cancer treatments were the catalyst for every riff and note on this album. However, my will to live and be with my brothers Justin, Dave @davelombardo, Mike @officialmikepatton, and co-producer Ross Robinson @ross_robinson, got me out of bed and running into the studio every day to get it all on tape.” Dead Cross released our self-titled debut album in 2017. Alternative Press deemed the 10-song collection “viciously contagious,” MetalSucks said the record is “a bracing, chaotic storm of noise punk,” The Needledrop deemed it “one of a kind” and Rolling Stone said Dead Cross is chock full of “charging, head-spinning ragers.” A surprise, also self-titled, EP followed in 2018, with a standalone single, a cover of Black Flag’s “Rise Above,” released during the Summer of 2020. #deadcross #ipecacrecordings #threeoneg #christianmissilecrisis
