Harley Flanagan is the only musician from the original The Age of Quarrel lineup to appear on every Cro-Mags studio album. In 2019, he secured exclusive rights to the Cro-Mags name following a legal settlement involving former members John Joseph and Mackie Jayson.
The band has released six studio albums to date, with In the Beginning arriving in 2020 after a two-decade gap between studio releases. The anniversary tour follows the recent release of "Wired for Chaos," Cro-Mags' first new song in six years and the band's first release through BLKIIBLK.
"Wired for Chaos" was released alongside a music video directed by Rex Miller featuring live performances and behind-the-scenes footage from recent tours.
Cro-Mags have confirmed that their seventh studio album is scheduled for release in 2027 through BLKIIBLK. The upcoming record will be the band's first full-length album since In the Beginning and will include the momentum created by "Wired for Chaos."
With the upcoming 40 Years of Quarrel tour, Cro-Mags will celebrate the legacy of one of hardcore's most influential albums while also looking ahead to the next chapter in the band's career.
