CRO-MAGS Unleash Chaos with New Anthem!
Hardcore legends drop 'Wired For Chaos' after a six-year silence!
New York's Hardcore Titans Are Back!
Get ready to mosh and thrash, because CRO-MAGS have just dropped their first track in six years—'Wired For Chaos'—and it's a sonic blast that’ll knock your socks off!
Premiering on Rolling Stone, this savage anthem comes with a music video directed by none other than Rex Miller, and it's as brutal as you'd expect from the kings of hardcore. Inspired by frontman Harley Flanagan’s wild life—yes, there's a documentary by the same name—this track is set to be featured on their upcoming album, slated for a 2027 release through BLKIIBLK!
Flanagan himself described 'Wired For Chaos' as an explosive journey, kicking off with a metal intro that’s perfect for a UFC entrance, before diving headfirst into that classic CRO-MAGS thrash. He’s got a message too—this isn’t just a song; it’s a raw reflection on the chaos we’re all programmed with from day one, shaped by trauma and life’s hellish experiences.
Working alongside SEPULTURA's Greyson Nekrutman and renowned producer Arthur Rizk, known for his work with heavyweights like KREATOR and SOULFLY, the new CRO-MAGS album promises to pack a punch that the scene has been craving.
The band's last full-length, 'In The Beginning', hit the streets in June 2020, and they’ve been keeping the fire alive with a couple of EPs since then. But nothing compares to the straight-up ferocity of this new track!
CRO-MAGS have been a cornerstone of hardcore since the '80s, influencing bands from METALLICA to GREEN DAY with their raw energy and unfiltered chaos. Harley Flanagan, who birthed this beast at just 14 years old, is back with a vengeance, ready to remind us all why CRO-MAGS are legends. From the Lower East Side to the world stage, they’re not just a band; they’re a movement!
So turn it up, let the chaos flow, and prepare for the CRO-MAGS to take you on a wild ride!
