Crippled Black Phoenix Stream New Dark Age EP in Full

Crippled Black Phoenix, UK purveyors of things fine and melancholic in post-rock, are still about a month out from releasing their New Dark Age EP in North America as their first offering through Season of Mist, but the release in its four-song entirety is streaming now via Bandcamp (see below), including the 14-minute title-track “New Dark Age” which is a darkened joy to behold. Surrounded by “Spider Island” and the band’s take on Pink Floyd‘s “Echoes,” “New Dark Age” and the release that bears its name casts a pretty wide shadow for a short release.

They’ve been due to get their due for a while now. Will be interested to see what kind of response this EP and their inevitable next album get when they’re out. For now, an advance listen:

Regarding ‘New Dark Age’, band founder Justin 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. “

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX have also recently embarked on an extensive European tour this fall. The “New Dark Age Winter Tour 2015 A.D.” tour sees the band are traveling across 13 different countries before concluding in mid-December. A full list of confirmed tour dates can be found below:
