After releasing a pair of EPs last year, Cro-Mags have returned with details of their first new album in two decades. 

The hardcore vets will release new album In the Beginning on June 19 via Arising Empire/Mission Two Entertainment. The LP will mark Cro-Mags' first full-length since 2000's Revenge and follows last year's Don't Give In and From the Grave EPs.

Alongside the announcement, the band have shared new song "The Final Test," which is available free to subscribers here. Earlier this month, the band livestreamed an in-studio performance after the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of a New York show alongside Body Count.

Cro-Mags now features vocalist/bassist Harley Flanagan, guitarists Gabby Abularach and Rocky George, and drummer Garry "G-Man" Sullivan.

Last April, Flanagan settled a suit to retain exclusive use of the Cro-Mags name, while former members John Joseph and Mackie Jayson would continue perform as "Cro-Mags JM."
