Info

Crippled Black Phoenix have, in their relatively short life, generated many rumours and script. Drawing musical influences from an eclectic range of sounds old and new, yet standing alone in a genre that’s not quite been defined, a sound that is hard to call, some are hearing prog-folk, some hear mournful balladry, but whatever their take on it, Crippled Black Phoenix are happily oblivious to it all.

★★★★ “they roam laggardly through rural post-rock, prog, folk, ambient and doom metal pastures without even trying your patience. Some parts are prettily sinister – think Godspeed meets The League Of Gentlemen – while others are curiously euphoric. Highly recommended.” – UNCUT

★★★★ “These are excellent songs all building into a slow buring cinematic atmosphere” – ARTROCKER

“This is up and at ‘em stuff that sees the lurch of doom metal transformed into six towering epics given vigour by the fury of hardcore, the communal euphoria of Black Mountain-like prog and the same twinkle of hope found in Mogwai’s raging beauty” – 8/10 NME

“An album of glorious richness and staggering songwriting that deserves to be embraced” – BBC.CO.UK
