Crippled Black Phoenix Announce New Album Banefyre and European Tour
At the end of last month, Crippled Black Phoenix shared a live double-album capturing their sets at Roadburn Festival from 2017 and 2019. I don’t think either of those represent the current lineup of the band, but hell, while the getting’s good, get. They follow that bit of good news with more in announcing both a new album on the way and the first round of touring they’ll do to support it like it ain’t no thing. Their last full-length was 2020’s Ellengæst (review here), and they followed it last year with the two-songer Painful Reminder / Dead is Dead EP (discussed here), continuing a run of downerist post-rock the likes of which, 20 years from now, other bands will be ripping off wholesale and forgetting to cite as an influence. Come back in two decades and prove me wrong.
Season of Mist will have the release on Sept. 9, and the UK/Euro stint will be with Impure Wilhelmina and MØL, as the band posted on social media:
YO! ‘Banefyre’! The new full-length is set for worldwide release on September 09, 2022 via Season of Mist and new music will be released soon!
Also.. after reuniting with our friends at Avacado Booking we are simultaneously announcing new European tour dates in support of the new album, together with label mates Impure Wilhelmina and MØL. A full list of confirmed shows can be found below.
The band comments on the album:
“So yeah, this announcement is a pretty special one. The album and the tour! They’re finally happening!
Banefyre, The Musical!
CBP is still alive. Still predictably unpredictable, doing our own thing. Accept no imitation. If you find it necessary to indulge yourself with a full dose of “the Musical!”, you’ll find a fantastic dance of triumph and defeat amongst a starlit atmosphere of deviant Magik. A congregation of outland dwelling characters in tales of caution and of hope, a reflection of human nature, ‘This, a journey through OUR world which only we understand but strikes a chord of lightning blue recognition amongst the crowd.
As satisfying as the longest and most perfect shit.
To coin a phrase.
The Scene.
The Prophet.
The Clown.
The End.”
