DEAD CROSS Feat. DAVE LOMBARDO, MIKE PATTON Release "Heart Reformer" Single And Music Video

Dead Cross, the SoCal band featuring Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo, Justin Pearson and Michael Crain, have released a second single from their forthcoming album, II, with today’s release of “Heart Reformer” and its accompanying video (see below).

“’Heart Reformer’ was as much fun to write as it is to listen to,” says Crain of the song. “It’s a classic Dead Cross song. It’s a pit stirrer and a fist pumper!”

The short-film like clip, which takes the track’s title literally, was directed and edited by Dark Details (a.k.a. Chris J. Cunningham).

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 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,” explains 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, Mike, and co-producer Ross Robinson, got me out of bed and running into the studio every day to get it all on tape.”

II will be released on October 28 via Ipecac Recordings, available in several limited-edition physical formats:

· CD digipak
