Posted on by

Danzig will play a brief run of headline tour dates on the U.S. West Coast in late March 2025. Support on the trek, which will include cities Danzig has not played in many years, will come from Down, Abbath and Cro-Mags. Danzig says: “No other shows are planned for 2025.”  Aside from focusing on occasional shows with The Misfits, Danzig released the long-in-the making Danzig Sings Elvis record in 2020 with limited shows to support it, and his last solo album was Black Laden Crown, in May 2017 via Evilive Records/Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

ALBUM REVIEW: Final Gasp – Mourning Moon

Posted on by

 

Let’s be straight up: Final Gasp’s debut Mourning Moon (Relapsev Records) is a great album, but going into this we need to be clear in what we expect from it.  The album cover, and marketing hype around this album makes you think it’s the second coming of Type O Negative. This is not the case. They draw inspiration from one of my favorite eras of punk rock…the mid eighties. This is when bands like T.S.O.L. and Die Kruzen took a darker turn in a more shadowy direction.

Cro-Mags Founder Harley Flanagan Sues Former Bandmate John Joseph Over 2019 New York City Show

Posted on by

Cro-Mags founder Harley Flanagan and current trademark holder has filed a lawsuit against his former bandmate John Joseph McGowan (a.k.a. John Joseph, John Bloodclot) for allegedly ripping off the group’s name. According to a published report from the New York Post and Blabbermouth.net, the federal trademark infringement lawsuit, filed on Monday by Savoia NYC Inc., which is owned by Flanagan, claims that McGowan used the name “Cro-Mags Jam” in violation of a 2019 settlement agreement giving Flanagan the rights to the Cro-Mags name. The suit alleges McGowan used “Cro-Mags Jam” to promote an April 23rd, 2019 benefit concert in the East Village’s Tompkins Square Park, causing confusion about who was actually performing, according to the filing. Just prior to that concert the two parties came to an agreement in which Flannagan retained the name, logos and all legal rights to release music as Cro-Mags, while Joseph and  Mackie Jason were to operate under Cro-Mags “JM.” Flannigan released an album – In The Beginning, and an EP, 2020,  via the Mission Two Entertainment label in 2020.  Continue reading →
