Forty years after Cro-Mags helped define metal-punk crossover with 1986’s landmark The Age of Quarrel, the fire still burns. The album’s intensity, groove, and influence remain undeniable, sharpened by a band history as volatile as the music itself.
Now led by founding bassist and vocalist Harley Flanagan, who took over frontman duties on 1989’s Best Wishes, 40 Years of Quarrel revisits these songs with real purpose. It is a celebration of a record that never stopped hitting hard.
Flanagan is joined by former bandmates Doug Holland and Rocky George, plus members of Turnstile and Rise Against. Produced and mixed by Arthur Rizk, it brings fresh force to classics like Hard Times, World Peace, Malfunction, and Everybody’s Gonna Die.
