Crippled Black Phoenix
Founded in Bristol in 2004 by Justin Greaves, a veteran of Iron Monkey and Electric Wizard, Crippled Black Phoenix is a sprawling, ever-shifting collective whose music resists easy categorization — roaming across post-rock, dark folk, psychedelia, and progressive rock in epic, elegiac compositions the band themselves call "endtime ballads." With a revolving cast of nearly thirty members and a string of ambitious albums including I, Vigilante (2012) and Ellengæst (2020), they have carved out an indelible space in adventurous heavy music as one of the UK's most singular and emotionally resonant ensembles.
