We are thrilled to bring you the official music video for CRO-MAGS' new song, “Wired For Chaos,” premiering exclusively on Rolling Stone.

The track comes off the band's upcoming album, which will be released in 2027 via BLKIIBLK, a heavy metal imprint of Frontiers Label Group.

The music video was directed by Rex Miller and finds CRO-MAGS frontman Harley Flanagan discussing the song's lyrical inspiration, saying, “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.” Flanagan explains further: “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.” This past March, Flanagan revealed he was working on the band's new album with SEPULTURA drummer Greyson Nekrutman and acclaimed producer Arthur Rizk.

CRO-MAGS' most recent album, “In The Beginning,” came out in June 2020 via Arising Empire and Mission Two Entertainment.

CRO-MAGS have had a profound influence on the evolution of hardcore and its development from punk.

Born out of the violence and depravity of the Lower East Side of New York in the late '70s and early '80s, the band was founded by Flanagan at just 14 years old when still playing with THE STIMULATORS.
