The Cro-Mags are an American hardcore punk / crossover thrash band from New York City. The band, which has a strong cult following, has released five studio albums, their first two considered the most influential. With a Hare Krishna background, they were among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal and were associated with the birth of a tougher attitude within the hardcore scene in the late 1980s, related to the world of martial arts. Harley Flanagan (formerly drummer for the Stimulators) and John Joseph are practitioners of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing respectively.[1][2] Flanagan is currently a second degree black belt under Renzo Gracie. The Cro-Mags have gone through many line-up changes since the first line-up prior to Age of Quarrel, and are currently in litigation over trademark infringement as Flanagan has been the sole trademark owner of the group's name since the early 1990s, the primary song-writer and only member featured on every album, while other members have toured under the moniker without his permission.

According to Allmusic: Before the Cro-Mags, the idea of combining hardcore and heavy metal together was unheard of. But with the release of their classic debut, The Age of Quarrel, hardcore-metal was born, and in its wake came a legion of similarly styled offspring (Biohazard, Vision of Disorder, etc.).[3]

History

The band's early years were spent living in burnt out buildings, squats and on the streets.[4] By 1982/83 Flanagan recorded the very first Cro-Mags demo consisting of 4 songs that would become the blue print their debut album The Age of Quarrel (1986). Flanagan wrote all of the music, played each instrument, and performed vocals. Before long he connected with Parris Mayhew and the two started writing music and auditioning band members. Age of Quarrel singer John Joseph parted ways with the band for the first time after Age of Quarrel, leaving bass player Harley Flanagan to sing on the following Cro-Mags release, Best Wishes (1989), which had a more heavy metal-influenced sound. The next record Alpha Omega saw the return of Joseph singing along with Flanagan. According to guitarist and songwriter Parris Mayhew, he wrote most of the album with guitarist Rob Buckley. However, neither Mayhew or Buckley played on the actual recording and the writing has been disputed by Flanagan and others.

The Cro-Mags disbanded and later recorded the album with the return of Doug Holland and a new rhythm guitarist: Gabby Abularach.[5]

The album Near Death Experience was released in 1993, after which the group disbanded for several years. They began touring again in the late 1990s with Flanagan on vocals and bass and Mayhew returning to the fold and eventually released Revenge in 2000. For many fans, this album signified a return to Cro-Mags' early hardcore roots. Many songs were comparable to those on The Age of Quarrel, although some featured a more melodic/punk rock style. The release of Revenge and its subsequent tour resulted in yet another break up, which caused lasting resentment between Mayhew and Flanagan. In 2001 Flanagan asked JJ to join him once again, but that was a short lived reunion and ended in 2002.  

In 2008 John Joseph and Mackie began playing shows with hired musicians on bass and guitar. In an October 2010 interview Joseph revealed that they were planning to release a new album in 2011.[6] As of 2018 the album has yet to be released. Flanagan released an album, Cro-Mags, in 2016.[7]

In 2018 Flanagan filed a federal trademark infringement action suing prior band members John Joseph McGowan and Mackie Jayson. The case is still live to this day.
