It was produced by Harley and Arthur and features drum phenom Greyson Nekrutman. The new single arrives alongside an official music video, available below.<\/p>\n<p>On the new single \u201cWired For Chaos,\u201d Harley Flanagan comments: \u201cThe new video for \u2018Wired For Chaos\u2019 reminds me of our first video, \u2018We Gotta Know,\u2019 which came out 40 years ago, except that it shows where the band is at now. I am proud to say that we are one of those few bands that have a multigenerational audience and bridge the gap between hard-core kids, metalheads, punks, skinheads, and more, as seen in the audience of this video, which was filmed at our shows on the past few tours. Not many bands have such a blended fan base besides Mot\u00f6rhead, and I am proud to say that we are following in that tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harley continues, \u201cThe song title \u2018Wired For Chaos\u2019 was taken directly from the recent documentary of the same name. It comes in with an aggressive metal intro befitting a UFC walk-in or a video game, then bursts into a more traditional HC thrash vibe before returning to a heavy beatdown at the end in an unmistakable Cro-Mags style. The song is literally about being programmed and Wired For Chaos from birth, not just by environment, but by parents, trauma, childhood experiences, and the resulting PTSD that I personally struggle with as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stream the single <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ffm.to\/cro-mags-wiredforchaos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>, and watch the music video for \u201cWired For Chaos\u201d below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cro Mags \u00b7 &quot;Wired for Chaos&quot; - Official Music Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EXK-nvpMwb0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Find Cro-Mags\u2019 tour itinerary <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/realcromags.com\/tour-dates-bookings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The history of Harley Flanagan and his band Cro-Mags is integral not just to the history of hardcore, but to modern metal, rock, and punk itself. With roots stretching from the shadow of Warhol and the Velvets to CBGB\u2019s hardcore matinees and L\u2019Amour Brooklyn thrash-a-thons, all the way through current generations of punk and extreme metal, Cro-Mags are the connective tissue. Just ask the likes of Dave Grohl, Green Day, and Turnstile. Cro-Mags stand side by side with Black Sabbath, Mot\u00f6rhead, and Metallica as both an influence and a gamechanger.<\/p>\n<p>The brainchild of a 14-year-old Harley Flanagan, Cro-Mags began in 1981 while Flanagan was playing drums for The Stimulators. By 1982\/83, he had recorded the primal Cro-Mags demos \u2014 four songs that would become the blueprint for the seminal 1986 release, \u2018Age of Quarrel.\u2019 Initially a solo vision, Flanagan wrote and played all of the music himself. In 1985, alongside guitarist Parris Mayhew, vocalist John Joseph McGowan, and drummer Mackie Jayson, the genre-defining \u2018Age of Quarrel\u2019 demo was recorded. The full-length album followed in 1986, with Doug Holland of Kraut joining on second guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Explosive both on and offstage, Cro-Mags have had a tumultuous history, to put it mildly. Through multiple lineups, six studio albums beyond the original demos, and more than four decades of worldwide touring, Cro-Mags remain one of the most iconic bands in American hardcore and metal. Today, the band is led by Flanagan on bass and vocals \u2014 a role he has held since \u2018Best Wishes\u2019 (1989). He remains the only member to appear on every Cro-Mags release since the band\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n<p>(Photo \u2013 Maurice Nunez)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:2px 6px 4px 6px; color: #555555; background-color: #eeeeee; border: #dddddd 2px solid\">OUT NOW!
