Der neue Track Wired For Chaos markiert die erste neue Musik von Cro-Mags seit sechs Jahren und liefert den Fans einen Vorgeschmack auf das, was noch kommen wird.
Die Band ist außerdem im Juni auf Tour in Europa mit einigen Dates in Deutschland.
Wired For Chaos – ein Titel, welcher der gleichnamigen Dokumentation über Harley aus dem vergangenen Jahr entstammt – wurde von Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Code Orange, Cavalera Conspiracy) aufgenommen, abgemischt und gemastert. Produziert wurde der Song von Harley und Arthur; zudem ist das Schlagzeug-Ausnahmetalent Greyson Nekrutman darauf zu hören.
Zum neuen Song Wired For Chaos äußert sich Harley Flanagan wie folgt: „The new video for Wired For Chaos reminds me of our first video, We Gotta Know, which came out 40 years ago, except that it shows where the band is at now. I am proud to say that we are one of those few bands that have a multigenerational audience and bridge the gap between hard-core kids, metalheads, punks, skinheads, and more, as seen in the audience of this video, which was filmed at our shows on the past few tours. Not many bands have such a blended fan base besides Motörhead, and I am proud to say that we are following in that tradition.“
Harley fährt fort, „The song title Wired For Chaos was taken directly from the recent documentary of the same name. 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. 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.”
