March 18, 2026 —\u00a0NUCLEAR MESSIAH<\/strong>–built around the visionary guitar mastery of\u00a0Chris Poland<\/strong>\u2014released their new single, \u201cFor Mad Men Only,\u201d today. Joining Poland for this roaring metal cover of the \u201870s May Blitz tune is the inimitable Joe Lynn Turner on vocals and Pat Travers on guitar, powering the song forward, alongside ex-Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey and former Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover. It’s a rousing, riff riddled monster, harnessing in serious style the unstoppable force that is NUCLEAR MESSIAH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis NUCLEAR MESSIAH record has been an absolute pleasure for me to make and be a part of,\u201d declares Chris Poland. \u201cIf someone told me when I was a kid that I would be on a record someday with nearly 40 of rock\u2019s royalty, I would have said you’re dreaming. Well, it happened!!!  This record is a tour de force of artists from groups we all know and love. From the first track to the last it just never lets up. Thank you, Cleopatra!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s great to be on board with the guys from Nuclear Messiah but I never thought after 56 years that I’d be doing a metal cover version of a May Blitz song,\u201d says Joe Lynn Turner. \u201cRecording \u2018For Mad Men Only\u2019 was a time warp experience. I remember back in 1970 when the band was releasing new material in a Prog\/Psychedelic\/ Punk style. The power Pop attitude and cryptic lyrics of non- conformity still ring true to form. It was an absolute pleasure to make a contribution to this amazing new project! Cheers to all!”

Produced by Cleopatra founder Brian Perera, Derek Hughes, and J\u00fcrgen Engler, with A&R direction by long-term Cleopatra Records consultant John Lappen, NUCLEAR MESSIAH stands as both resurrection and revelation \u2014 a celebration of musicianship, legacy, and unrelenting fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping the momentum going at a fierce pace as we roll towards the release of the full album, this new single brings everything you’d expect from this stunning band, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
