Crippled Black Phoenix – The Heart of Every Country
Tags
Biography
United Kingdom (2004 – present)
They are a collective of musicians from many other bands (including notably Iron Monkey, Gonga, Mogwai, Electric Wizard and others). In 2004, Justin Greaves began recording primitive sounds he had in mind for years. He was encouraged by Dominic Aitchison, and their ideas would lay the backbone for Crippled Black Phoenix.
Although originally having an unorthodox start, since all the band members were part of and busy with other projects at the time of the band’s founding, Crippled Black Phoenix remained committed to staying together and forged their sound. The band writes what they call “endtime ballads,” signifying both the slightly macabre nature of their songs and their unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. This blend has led to them being called everything from stoner-prog to freak-folk to doom.
Crippled Black Phoenix have made live shows a focus and have performed in unusual venues, using Victorian-era instruments in tandem with more modern instruments.

Point taken.... and agreed!

I think you're missing my point. The fact that they change vocalists a lot since Joe left clearly shows that the new guys don't really fit as he did. I never said that they're worse without Volk (and I never said anything abot him being "frontman" or whatever). I really like "No Sadness Or Farewell" :F

I don't think it's got anything to do with ex-vocalists. They don't appear to be looking for a Joe Volk clone and from what the band says, they're happier since he left. Why does people always think it's all about the singer? One thing this band shows is it's not about the "frontman". In my opinion Volk was rubbish anyway.

New vocalist again (I think he's third after Joe left). As much as they deny it, it looks like Volk can't be replaced.

Geeeezz! Frankly speaking, I have never heard so sad and depressive piece of music. If I were Emo Kid, I would cut myself, while listening to this music.:) It is dark, subtle and beautiful. There is something about this band, that is hipnotic. One guy said "Sadness underlies the true beauty " There is something in it.

These guys are one of my favorite modern rock bands. I really don't get how they're not more appreciated.
