Crippled Black Phoenix - Resurrectionists - Music & Performance - CD

U.K. progressive post-rock supergroup "Crippled Black Phoenix" is a musical collective that has featured nearly 30 members in it's rotating roster. The constant driving force is multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves (Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey, Se Delan), who formed the band in 2004 with "Mogwai" bassist Dominic Aitchison. Creating what they describe as "endtime ballads" to signify both the slightly macabre nature of their songs & the unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. The band have made live shows a focus by performing in unusual venues across the world as well as using Victorian-era instruments in tandem with more modern instruments, often involving more than a dozen members on-stage. In 2006, "Crippled Black Phoenix" released their debut album, 'A Love Of Shared Disasters', on Invada Records. This was followed in 2009 by 'The Resurrectionists' & 'Night Raider', both of which were remastered & reissued by Kscope in 2019. These albums, together with 'A Love Of Shared Disasters', form a trilogy exploring literary historical tales & personal stories of loss & love, blending an evocative sound that feels both archaic & modern. The origins of the band trace back to 2004 when Justin Greaves, then drummer for "Electric Wizard", began recording songs he had envisioned for years using primitive techniques. These early recordings laid the foundation for "Crippled Black Phoenix". In 2006, while recording their debut album in Bristol, Greaves was joined by old friends who helped bring his long-standing musical vision to life, resulting in a unique sound shaped by the members' diverse influences. This new digipak CD edition of 'The Resurrectionists' features audio from the 2019 Kscope remaster & is complete with an 8-page printed booklet.
