Gods of NYHC scene!

Alpha Omega returns in this reissue of one of the defining recordings from New York hardcore legends Cro-Mags. Formed during the explosive 1980s NYHC movement, Cro-Mags helped redefine hardcore by combining the aggression of punk with thrash metal precision, crushing grooves, and spiritually charged lyrics. Building upon the legacy established by landmark releases such as The Age of Quarrel and Best Wishes, Alpha Omega further expanded the band's sound while maintaining the intensity and streetwise authenticity that made them pioneers of crossover music.

Recorded at the legendary Normandy Sound studio in Warren, Rhode Island, home to sessions by Demolition Hammer, Sick Of It All, Gang Green, and Wargasm, the album delivers powerful songwriting filled with memorable riffs, dynamic tempos, and philosophical themes. Tracks such as 'See the Signs,' 'Apocalypse Now,' and 'Changes' showcase the band's ability to balance uncompromising heaviness with thoughtful lyricism and enduring hooks.

Presented on CD, this reissue preserves an influential chapter in the Cro-Mags catalog, reaffirming the band's lasting impact on both hardcore punk and modern metal.
