The formation of the beast we now call EXODUS began in Richmond, CA in 1979, and although many started their journey as fans a few years down the line, there is no debating that the early 80's was a time for major growth in the world of thrash metal, especially in the Bay Area of California.

Day In The Dirt was perhaps the ultimate example of the Bay Area thrash metal underground scene in 1984. A plywood stage constructed in a Berkeley, CA park where SLAYER, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and EXODUS played to a frenzied crowd of headbangers. It was also evident from this show, and others like it, why EXODUS was so influential on the Bay Area scene and thrash metal in general. With the eventual release of their first album »Bonded By Blood«, the band would take their music and their live show to new heights of insanity in the years that followed.

Gary Holt comments, "Day In The Dirt was almost like the Bay Area thrash metal Woodstock, our own underground version on the legendary Day On The Green shows we all attended so many times. What happened that day at Aquatic Park in Berkeley has gone down in Bay Area lore as an epic day for the underground thrash scene. The brainchild of the late great Wes Robinson, we were fortunate to have been a key part of such a great show. It was Rick Hunolt's second EXODUS show as well I believe!"

Stay tuned for more information on upcoming festivities surrounding the 40 year anniversary as well as their highly awaited eleventh album.

Die Wurzeln des Monsters, das uns heutzutage als EXODUS bekannt ist, reichen nach Richmond, CA im Jahr 1979 zurück. Auch wenn viele ihre „Fankarriere“ erst wenige Jahre später begonnen haben, so gibt es doch keine Zweifel daran, dass die frühen 80er die (Haupt-)Geburtsstunde des Thrash Metal waren, vor allem in der Bay Area Kaliforniens.

Day In The Dirt spiegelte die Bay Area-Thrash Metal-Underground-Szene 1984 vermutlich perfekt wider: Das Festival basierte auf einer sperrhölzernen Bühne, die sich in einem Park in Berkeley, CA befand. Auf ebenjener spielten damals heutige Größen wie SLAYER, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES und EXODUS, die sich einem wilden Publikum gegenübersahen. Diese Show belegte besonders, wieso EXODUS einen solch großen Einfluss auf die Bay Area-Szene sowie das gesamte Metal-Genre hatten. Mit der Veröffentlichung ihres ersten Albums, »Bonded By Blood«, sollte die Band ihre Musik und ihre Liveshow in den Folgejahren schließlich auf ein neues Wahnsinnslevel heben.

Gary Holt kommentiert:
Day In The Dirt war fast schon eine Art Woodstock des Bay Area-Thrash Metal, unser eigenes Underground-Pendant der legendären Day On The Green-Shows, zu denen wir alle regelmäßig gegangen sind. Was an jenem Tag im Aquatic Park von Berkeley passiert ist, ist als epischer Tag für die Underground-Thrash-Szene in die Geschichte der Bay Area eingegangen. Die Idee dazu hatte der mittlerweile verstorbene Wes Robinson. Glücklicherweise konnten wir damals eine Schlüsselrolle bei dieser großartigen Show spielen. Ich meine, es war zudem Rick Hunolts zweite EXODUS-Show überhaupt!

Bleibt dran, Infos zu weiteren Festivitäten rund um EXODUS' 40-jähriges Jubiläum sowie ihr ungeduldig erwartetes elftes Album werden schon bald bekanntgegeben.

Harley Flanagan: "In late 2018 I went in to the studio to start working on a new Cro-Mags album. After recording the first few songs, I got a strange phone call in the middle of the night, that turned out to be from Tony Brummel, Victory Records (to this day I have no idea where or how he got my number).  I thought it was a prank call; it turned out not to be, and I started negotiating a record deal with Victory Records. Arising Empire in Europe later got in touch and with a team of lawyers including Donna Tobin (Frankfurt Kurnit), Dave Stein etc. and the help of Robert Kampf, former CEO of Century Media and his team, we negotiated deals that we are all very happy with. Mike Gitter from Century made the introduction to engineer John Ferrara and Producer Arthur Rizk, and the recording process went into full swing. One of the many things that makes me happy about signing with Victory and Arising Empire, is that they are genuinely fans of my music and know my history; they are not just labels trying to make money off me or the genre.
 I know that I am working with the best team, and the best musicians to launch the next era of Cro-Mags."

01. Don't Give In

Die Geschichte von CRO-MAGS ist im Wesentlichen die Geschichte des Hardcore, die Evolution des Punks und die Entwicklung der alternativen Musik Genres wie Hardcore, Cross-Over, Thrash-Metal, Post-Punk und Grunge, um nur ein paar zu nennen. Zahlreiche große Bands von METALLICA bis hin zu GREEN DAY und Persönlichkeiten wie Dave Grohl wurden von CRO-MAGS primär beeinflusst.

In den späten 70er und frühen 80er in der Lower East Side von New York geboren, war CRO-MAGS der Geistesblitz des noch sehr jungen Harley Flanagan (zu dieser Zeit 14 Jahre alt), als er noch bei THE STIMULATORS spielte. 1982/83 schreibt und nahm er seine aller ersten CRO-MAGS Demos auf, die aus vier Songs bestanden und später die Blaupause für das bahnbrechende Album »Age of Quarrel« (1986) wurde. Er schrieb alles selbst, spielte jedes Instrument im Alleingang ein und sang. Lange noch bevor er sich mit Parris Mayhew kurz schloss und zusammen Musik schrieb, sowie weitere Bandmitglieder anheuerte.
 Nach mehreren Mitglieder Wechseln, fünf Studioalben (neben den originalen Demos) und über 30 Jahre Tour-Erfahrung rund um den Globus, ist CRO-MAGS eine der meist bekanntesten und einflussreichste Hardcore Bands im ganzen Genre, ohne Ausnahme.

CRO-MAGS
“Der Anfang”

Was jetzt? In Harleys Worten: “Lemmy came to me in a dream and said, ‘Take it back mate, it’s yours, you started it.’ The fact is, I never legally lost the name Cro-Mags, others were using it without my permission, while I was raising my kids. An agreement was struck with the previous members and I regained full control over the name worldwide. Now with an amazing line up and 2 record deals I am moving forward. I have a great team of people behind me; I have never felt stronger, better or more creative.”

Und so kam Bassist Harley Flanagan zu einem Übereinkommen mit Sänger John Joseph und Schlagzeuger Mackie Jayson bezüglich des Rechts am namen CRO-MAGS. Flanagan wird absofort unter dem Namen CRO-MAGS auftreten, Joseph und Jayson unter dem Namen CRO-MAGS "JM".

2019 unterschrieb CRO-MAGS den Vertrag mit  Victory Records und Arising Empire.

Die Single: besteht aus drei Tracks, ‘Don’t Give In’, ‘Drag You Under’, und ‘No One's Victim’.

 Harley: “The lyrics are meant to inspire and kick you in the ass when you need it. Some might not take them that way, but that’s my intention. Sometimes you need someone to tell you to man-the-fuck-up, or woman-up, cause life ain’t easy and you will get crushed if you don’t. I wrote them more for myself than anyone else, cause sometimes I need to hear these things, as I think we all do.”

Einige von ihnen sind inspiriert durch Verlust, den Verlust von Freunden, durch Selbstmord, Krebs, Leid durch Depressionen, Sterblichkeit und letztendlich die Anmut des Lebens. Du musst in der Lage sein es zu erkennen, selbst wenn Du daran leidest und damit kämpfst. Obwohl wir all unsere persönlichen und individuellen Kämpfe ausfechten, müssen wir nicht alle davon alleine durchstehen, aber viele davon alleine bestreiten. So haben wir, neben unseren natürlichen Bedürfnissen wie Wasser, Essen und Unterschlupf, alle etwas gemeinsam. Wir müssen außerdem lernen mit Leid und Sterblichkeit umzugehen. Einige schaffen es an die Spitze während andere zurückbleiben.

 Ich glaube ich bin oft genug abgestürzt, dass ich es irgendwie geschafft habe wieder die Spitze zu erklimmen. I fühl mich stärker und mental, geistig, sowie physisch glücklicher als den je. Aber so ist das Leben - du musst kämpfen, um das zu bekommen was Du möchtest und musst außerdem wissen, dass nichts ewig währt.

The history of the CRO-MAGS is integral to the history of Hardcore, it’s evolution from punk and the development of alternative music genres such as hardcore, cross-over, thrash metal, post punk and grunge to name a few. Numerous iconic bands from METALLICA to GREEN DAY, and individuals such as Dave Grohl have credited CRO-MAGS with having had a primal influence on their development.
Born out of the violence and depravity of the Lower East Side of New York in the late 70s and early 80s, the CRO-MAGS was the brain-child of a very young Harley Flanagan (at the time 14 years old) when still playing with THE STIMULATORS. By 1982/83 he wrote and recorded the very first CRO-MAGS demos consisting of four songs that would become the blueprint for the seminal 1986 »Age of Quarrel«. He wrote all of the music, played each instrument and sang. Before long he connected with Parris Mayhew and the two started writing music and auditioning band members.
After several line-ups, 5 studio albums (beyond the original demos) and 30 + years of tours around the world, CRO-MAGS remains one of the most iconic hardcore bands with arguably the greatest reach beyond the genre. 
 
CRO-MAGS
“In the Beginning”
Why now? In Harley’s words: “Lemmy came to me in a dream and said, ‘Take it back mate, it’s yours, you started it.’ The fact is, I never legally lost the name Cro-Mags, others were using it without my permission, while I was raising my kids. An agreement was struck with the previous members and I regained full control over the name worldwide. Now with an amazing line up and 2 record deals I am moving forward. I have a great team of people behind me; I have never felt stronger, better or more creative.”

And so bassist Harley Flanagan has reached a settlement with singer John Joseph and drummer Mackie Jayson regarding ownership of the CRO-MAGS name. Flanagan will now perform under the name CRO-MAGS while Joseph and Jayson will perform as CRO-MAGS "JM".

In 2019 Cro-Mags signed with Victory Records and Arising Empire.

The single: consist of 3 tracks, ‘Don’t Give In’, ‘Drag You Under’, and ‘No One's Victim’.

Harley: “The lyrics are meant to inspire and kick you in the ass when you need it. Some might not take them that way, but that’s my intention. Sometimes you need someone to tell you to man-the-fuck-up, or woman-up, cause life ain’t easy and you will get crushed if you don’t. I wrote them more for myself than anyone else, cause sometimes I need to hear these things, as I think we all do.”

Some of them were inspired by loss, the loss of friends, by suicide, cancer, struggling with depression, mortality and ultimately the beauty of life. You have to be able to recognize it, even when you’re suffering and struggling. Although we all fight our own personal battles, and they vary, none of us are alone in the fact that we have to fight our 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 single 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 "GMan" 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.
