United Kingdom (2004 – present)

Crippled Black Phoenix is a post-rock band from the United Kingdom, formed in 2004 by members of Electric Wizard and Mogwai.

Their debut album, A Love Of Shared Disasters, was recorded at State of Art Studios in Bristol. Geoff Barrow (of Portishead), who is a part owner of the studio, produced the disc and released it on his own Invada Records.

The band has described their own songs as “end time ballads. ” They go on to say, “Born from a blizzard of horned cats, Crippled Black Phoenix bring you a twisted cinematic experience, handcrafted by a mercenary crew of underground heavyweights, giving depth and gravity to regal songs about love, loss, tragedies and redemption.” The band got its name from the nickname Justin Greaves took on when he played with Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson in Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine.

Current Band Members:
Justin Greaves - Electric Guitar, Drums, Saw, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, Effects, Samples, Washing up
Joe Volk - Voice, Acoustic guitar
Kostas Panagiotou - Piano, Keyboards, Harmonium, Accordion
Charlotte Nichols - Cello, Voice
Karl Demata - Guitars
Baz Barrett - Bass
Merijn Royaards - Drums
Mark Ophidian - Electronics, Voice Effects

Justin was only three years part of Electric Wizard, and afaik, Dominic from Mogwai isn't in CBP anymore (not sure about that, though he isn't touring with them).

I don't know why, but the idea of Mogwai and Electric Wizard coming together seems so cool to me.

Because TR and NR are full-length albums. TToBL is just a compilation. Going to see them live in three hours :)

what's the deal with the new albums? "The Resurrectionists / Night Raider" IS a "200 Tons..." but with some extra songs. so why did they release two albums? nevertheless - great album(s)!!!

Just saw these guys live and I have to say, if you haven't yet, make it a priority. Definitely a top performance with what I considered a perfect set list on top of it...

not that i'm complaining or anything, but 'crossing the bar' is very similar to mogwai's 'auto rock'. very cool.
