Ghost Cult Magazine’s Keefy had the chance to catch up with NYHC legend Harley Flanagan! Harley is about to release the first new Cro-Mags album in 20 years, In the Beginning (Arising Empire/Mission Two Entertainment) on June 19th, 2020. We talked about a wide range of topics with Harley including reclaiming the Cro-Mags name, his new album, how the new band formed, his writing process for music and lyrics, working with guests like Phil Campbell of Motorhead, adding in the realness of New York as a character on the album, his thoughts on gentrification, and some old school New York Hardcore stories including old school punks versus metalheads, stories about Anthrax, Carnivore, Peter Steele (RIP), Mr. Bungle and much more.
