This band really doesn't need an introduction. Yet, seeing as how they have such an interesting and intense past I'll provide you with one. The 'Magz past is one filled with agony, pain, despiration, and hope. The two founders John"Bloodclot" Joseph, and Harley Flanagan formed the band in 1982 on the Lower Eastside of NYC, where the two were licing at the time. They released their most famous record " The Age of Quarrel" in 1986. After that the band seemed to fall apart with the depature of their singer Jon Joseph. The departure was due to inner band fighting, Jon had enough of Harleys and Parris' attitudes, as he explains in his autobiography The Evolution of a Cromagon(great read). Though, in '92 the band saw the return of their MIA singer. They recorded "Alpha Omega". Jon explains in his book that he returned for this album cause he was promised money(I think) and because he was under contract and if he wanted to be free to do, and release other musis he had to. So I'm going to upload The Age if Quarrel for you folks. This album is the defintion of hard.
