Dead Cross release new music video for ‘Christian Missile Crisis’
DEAD CROSS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Christian Missile Crisis, is the third single to be taken from the American hardcore supergroup’s upcoming sophomore album II, which is scheduled to be released in October this year via Ipecac Recordings.
Speaking about the new song, bassist Justin Pearson explains, “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.”

Alongside the release of the new music video, the band have launched an online auction in partnership with Fender to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (San Diego chapter) and The Satanic Temple’s Religious Reproductive Rights Campaign. The fundraiser, features two custom Fender Player Lead III guitars, one black, and one beige. Both guitars have been modified by The Black Moon Design with clear vehicle wrap grade vinyl decals featuring art from the band’s album.
Speaking about the auction, the band comment, “In light of the recent loss of our ex-bandmate, comrade, brother, and all around amazing person Gabe Serbian, Ipecac Recordings and Three One G will donate all proceeds from the beige guitar to help suicide prevention awareness. All proceeds from the black guitar will go to help fight laws that do not promote the health and safety of individuals in relation to bodily autonomy.”
II is a politically-charged record that came together after the band rallied around guitarist Michael Crain upon his receipt of a surprise cancer diagnosis. On this, Crain comments, “Words can’t even begin to describe how much this album means to me. It’s birthed of pain and uncertainty. 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, Mike, and co-producer Ross Robinson, got me out of bed and running into the studio every day to get it all on tape.”
