Hardcore legends Cro-Mags have announced The Age Of Quarrel: 40 Years Of Quarrel, the re-recording of their 1986 debut record. Apart from frontman Harley Flanagan and guitarist Doug Holland, ex-Cro-Mags and Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George will also be featured in the new version of the album. Drummer Greyson Nekrutman of Sepultura and members of Rise Against and Turnstile will also play on the album. The band have also released a new version of the song “World Peace” from the album.

Harley Flanagan shares his thoughts:
“It all started with the making of the ‘Wired For Chaos’ movie, but there were several reasons for revisiting ‘The Age Of Quarrel.’ None of the people who played on the original record ever got paid, and none of us ever received an accounting of the album’s sales. For years, I tried to reunite the original lineup to re-record it and reclaim the rights to ‘The Age Of Quarrel’ and ‘Best Wishes’ through the Copyright Reversion Act. But I couldn’t get everyone together to take back ownership of the music, and that window has now closed.”
He adds:
“We had to re-record a few songs for the ‘Harley Flanagan: Wired For Chaos’ documentary soundtrack because the original recordings couldn’t be licensed. That inspired me to finish the entire album. To honor ‘The Age Of Quarrel,’ I brought together friends, current bandmates, and musicians from other bands to celebrate these songs that have meant so much to so many people, myself included. Forty years later, everyone who wrote these songs will finally be paid through ASCAP and BMI, and the remaining proceeds will go to charity. I’m doing my best to make things right. These songs belong to the fans. I’m washing my hands of the past and trying to clear the bad karma from this record. Love wins. My quarrel is over.”
