MOSH OR DIE to Release Debut EP “1985” in December
A long-delayed crossover thrash project
MOSH OR DIE, a crossover thrash project bringing together members of S.O.D., M.O.D. and Ministry, are preparing to release their debut EP, “1985”, on December 4 via WTF Records. The five-track release is preceded by its lead single, ‘Mosh Or Die’, which arrived on November 6 alongside an official lyric video.
The project traces its origins back to material vocalist Billy Milano wrote nearly two decades ago but never got around to releasing. Milano explains that he composed most of the songs in 2004-2005, initially envisioning a retro band built around the sound of the 1985 era. Those plans were put on hold, however, when he ended up recording and touring in support of M.O.D.'s “Red, White and Screwed”.
Milano describes MOSH OR DIE as a project born out of a desire to thank the fans. After nearly two years of recording and mixing, the material is finally ready for release. He sees “1985” as a way of expressing his gratitude to the listeners while wishing them well.
The EP's opening single, ‘Mosh Or Die’, offers a direct introduction to the band's crossover thrash and hardcore punk approach. Built around Billy Milano's abrasive vocals, the track pairs forceful guitar and bass work with drums that maintain its high-speed momentum. It also reflects the band's commitment to the crossover thrash sound of the 1980s.
MOSH OR DIE's debut EP, “1985”, will be released on December 4 through WTF Records. Pre-orders are now available.
