Before the Cro-Mags, the idea of combining heavy metal and hardcore together was unheard of. But with the release of their classic debut, The Age of Quarrel, hardcore-metal was born, and in its wake came a legion of similarly styled offspring (Biohazard, Vision of Disorder, etc.). Although the group endured an endless amount of lineup shifts (which is probably the main reason they never became as well known as they should have), the Cro-Mags continued to record and tour in one form or another.

It’s hard to argue with The Chain, whose demo tape opens with real life chain sounds before kicking into a two-step worthy shuffle. Then, frontman Dereck barks “You can’t break the fucking chain” and you’re suddenly planning your 10-year edgeversary (which, I’m assuming, would be 10 years from today).
