Crippled Black Phoenix feature former Electric Wizard drummer Justin Greaves, Mogwai's Dominic Aitchison ,folk-rock singer Joe Volk and experimentalist Team Brick, as well as about another EIGHT musicians. The album itself is a stunning collection of classic rock, psychedelia, post-rock and dark, slow-burning ambience. The band uniquely blend Victorian instrumentation with modern day techniques and equipment, to create a compelling and totally original sound, that they have christened "Endtime Ballads"

"Born from a blizzard of horned cats, Crippled Black Phoenix bring you a twisted cinematic experience, handcrafted by a mercenary crew of musical outsiders, giving depth and gravity to regal songs about love, loss, tragedy and redemption" (Press Release)
