Iron Reagan - Demonetization (Indie Exclusive Yellow Splatter Vinyl)

Indie Exclusive Yellow With Black Splatter Vinyl, One-Sided 12-Inch EP

This is the North American independent-retail exclusive of Demonetization: yellow vinyl with black splatter, limited to 353 copies according to Relapse Records. It is a one-sided 12-inch, with all six songs on the playing side and a custom etching on the B-side.

Relapse's first pressing comes in five versions: this one, standard black, 351 copies of a custom "Assassin" marble and 147 of a tri-color merge with splatter (both sold through Relapse's own store), and 100 clear copies held for friends and the label.

The EP runs six tracks in about ten minutes, and Relapse's notes place it across punk, hardcore, fastcore and thrash metal. It is Iron Reagan's first new music since a 2019 split with Sacred Reich, and singer Tony Foresta has said it is the band's first release with bassist Paul Burnette since the 2014 split with Exhumed. Foresta called it "some of our strongest/heaviest material we've done to date."

Iron Reagan formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 2012. Foresta and guitarist Phil Hall also play in Municipal Waste, while drummer Ryan Parrish and Burnette both came from Darkest Hour. The band went quiet in 2020 and announced its return in October 2025 with that original lineup plus guitarist Adam Guilliams. Its earlier albums are Worse Than Dead (2013), The Tyranny of Will (2014) and Crossover Ministry (2017), the last two on Relapse.
