The history of the Cro-Mags is integral to the history of Hardcore,its evolution from punk and the development of alternative music genres such ashardcore, cross-over, thrash metal, post punk and grunge to name a few.Numerous iconic bands from Metallica to Green Day, and individuals such as DaveGrohl have credited Cro-Mags with having had a primal influence on theirdevelopment.
Born out of the violence and depravity of the Lower East Side ofNew York in the late 70s and early 80s, the Cro-Mags was the brainchild of avery young Harley Flanagan (at the time 14 years old) when still playing withthe Stimulators. By 1982/83 he wrote and recorded the very first Cro-Mags demosconsisting of 4 songs that would become the blueprint for the seminal 1986 “Ageof Quarrel.” He wrote all of the music, played each instrument and sang. Beforelong he connected with Parris Mayhew and the two started writing music andauditioning band members.
After several line-ups,5 studio albums (beyond theoriginal demos) and 30 + years of tours around the world, Cro-Mags remains oneof the most iconic hardcore bands with arguably the greatest reach beyond thegenre.
Cro-Mag “In the Beginning
”Why now? In Flanagan’s words: “Lemmy came tome in a dream and said, ‘Take it back mate, it’s yours, you started it. ’Thefact is, I never legally lost the name Cro-Mags, others were using it withoutmy permission, while I was raising my kids. An agreement was struck with theprevious members and I regained full control over the name worldwide. Now with anamazing line up and 2 record deals I am moving forward. I have a great team ofpeople behind me; I have never felt stronger, better or more creative.
”In 2019Cro-Mags signed with Victory Records and Arising Empire and released the “Fromthe Grave” single, consisting of the tracks: “Don’t Give In”. “Drag You Under,”and “No One's Victim.”
Flanagan: “These lyrics are meant to inspire and kickyou in the ass when you need it.Some might not take them that way, but that’s myintention. Sometimes you need someone to tell you to man-the-fuck-up, orwoman-up, cause life ain’t easy and you will get crushed if you don’t. I wrotethem more for myself than anyone else, cause sometimes I need to hear thesethings, as I think we all do.”
“Some of them were inspired by loss, the loss offriends, by suicide, cancer, struggling with depression, mortality andultimately the beauty of life. You have to be able to recognize it, even whenyou’re suffering and struggling. Although we all fight our own personalbattles, and they vary, none of us are alone in the fact that we have to fightour battles, and many of them we must fight alone. In that way, we all have something in common, besides needing basic things like food water and shelter. We also must learn how to cope with struggle and mortality. Some rise to the top while others crash and burn.”
“I feel like I crashed and burned enough times that I somehow managed to rise back to the top. I feel stronger, happier mentally, spiritually and physically than I have in years; and it did not come without a struggle or cost. But that is life; you have to fight for what you want, and you also have to know how temporary it all is.
”The Album: “In the Beginning”: The full length has13tracks including the 3 from the first single. The songs draw on the past and break new ground musically; the lyrics as always, are based on personal experiences, mixed with advice and reality-based themes and topics ranging from personal struggles, striving to succeed against the odds and issues that we are all challenged with in one way, shape or form.
The singles and album feature, along with Harley Flanagan, Gabby Abularach (Gil Evans Orchestra, amongst many other projects) who played on Cro-Mags ’"Alpha Omega”(1992) and "Near Death Experience”(1993);Rocky George (formerly of Suicidal Tendencies and Fishbone) who played on Cro-Mags ’"Revenge”(2000); and" Gary "G Man" Sullivan (who has played with everyone from the B-52's,Berny Worrel of Parliament Funkadelic, TM Stevens etc.),who joined Cro-Mags in the 90s.
“In the Beginning” will be released June 19th worldwide on LP, CD and all digital platforms. The band was set to support the album through release shows and festivals in both Europe and North America, but due to the Corona virus, all shows were postponed or cancelled. Harley was one of the first to put together a live stream event which aired online March 19th and has been viewed over 100,000 times and received coverage from CNN and all major press outlets. A free download of the track, “The Final Test,” was then given to fans shortly thereafter.
