Crippled Black Phoenix Sign to Season of Mist; New EP Due Nov. 27

crippled black phoenix

UK (or mostly UK, anyhow) purveyors of perpetual intrigue Crippled Black Phoenix have signed to Season of Mist and will release a new EP, New Dark Age, on Nov. 27. Universally awesome news. Crippled Black Phoenix, whose early work remains the non-doom stuff of doomers’ daydreams, are an excellent fit for Season of Mist‘s varied roster — one can just as easily imagine them on a label-package tour with Kylesa as with Sólstafir — and the band are sure to be well-served by Season of Mist in terms of getting their music to the ears it should be in. Very cool pairing, very stoked to hear what Crippled Black Phoenix do with and after the forthcoming New Dark Age.

The PR wire has the art for the new EP, which rules, and word of a track premiere, the signing, and the release:

Season of Mist are proud to announce the signing of the international dark rock collective CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX. Founded by multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves, the inimitable CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX have earned a large cult following on the backs of their extensive catalog.

Regarding the signing, Greaves comments:

“CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX are lighting lanterns and scaling the highest peak in celebration of signing with Seasons of Mist. For too long we have been placed in situations where we did not quite fit, but now we feel like we found a more understanding home, a home where people care about the end result and do not compromise. This marks a bright, creative and equally dangerous future for the band and CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX are very happy with our new partnership.”

To celebrate the new signing and a newly announced European tour, CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX are releasing a new EP titled ‘New Dark Age EP.’. The EP will be released worldwide later this year on November 27. Pre-orders are available at the Season of Mist E-Shop.

The album artwork and track list for ‘New Dark Age EP.’ can be found below:

Track listing:
1. Spider Island

4. Echoes PT. 2 (Pink Floyd cover)

Regarding the track, “Spider Island”, Greaves comments:

‘Our ‘New Dark Age’ tour EP represents a new chapter in the CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX history. I feel like it is time to be truly free of industry and personal bullshit. It also connects what we have gone through as a band with what is going on in the big wide world. It really feels as if we are living in a new ‘dark age’. Religious and political oppression, the population being fed constant untruths – all of this reminds me of the priests in the middle ages telling folk about dog-headed monsters living in the woods, but if you repent and join the church, they will protect you. The song ‘Spider Island’ is more personal. There I mentally put all the bad people… recently there have been a few people who need to go to Spider Island and live a life of torture along with all the other scumbags, who cling to power in the world.”

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX have also recently announced an extensive European tour this fall. The “New Dark Age Winter Tour 2015 A.D.” tour, which kicks off in Sheffield, UK on Nov. 23 sees the band travel across 13 different countries before concluding in mid-December.
