- Led by multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves (ex-ELECTRIC WIZARD, ex-IRON MONKEY). Sixth full-length album by one the most innovative and original post-rock / metal bands around. Including a cover version of Joe Walsh’s 1972 classic, “Turn To Stone”. The deluxe Digipak edition comes. All vinyl editions come in a deluxe gatefold with UV spot varnish and matte lamination [!]
Just like the alloy this album is named after, CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX's music is made of metal and non-metal elements. Dark rock forms the base ingredient in the musical amalgamation process, but it is the addition of metal, progressive influences, gothic, wave, even pop, and many other elements as well as a changing cast of musicians that result in each song shining with its own individual hue and tone. Yet a deep sense of anguish, despair, longing, loss, melancholy, and nostalgia forms a binding force that holds 'Bronze' together and formulates an encompassing theme.
