Für gewöhnlich halte ich sogenannte Supergroups ja für ein ziemlich überflüssiges und autosexuelles Gimmick der Musikszene. In den wenigsten Fällen erfüllen solche Projekte die Erwartungen, die um den Hype herum entstehen, der ihre Gründung begleitet. Doch das Lineup von CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX lässt in vierlerlei Hinsicht aufhorchen:
Justin Greaves (Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey) Joe Volk (Gonga, Solo) Dominic Aitchison (Mogwai) Andy Semmens (Pantheist, Ereipia) Nial McGoughey (3D House of Beef) Kostas Panagiotou (Pantheist, Ereipia)
Ganz konform mit der Diversität der hier vereinten Einflüsse ist auch das Ergebnis nicht leicht in Worte zu fassen: Songorientierte Mogwai, Palace, David Pajo, aber auch Sigur Ros und Ennio Morricone fallen mir zumindest schon beim ersten Hören ein, geschulterem Ohr vermutlich noch weitaus mehr.
"This ambitious group use a myriad of instruments ranging from Cellos to 18th Century Harmoniums right through to Saws and Hammond Organs. These Victorian instruments will be "blended" with amplified instruments to create their self-styled dark-americana ambiance. This is not your typical run of the mill band that are recording one album and then disappear back to their respective bands. Crippled Black Phoenix have already planned a trilogy of albums, with material written for the second full length one already. This is despite all of the members commitments to their other bands and projects." (Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep-Blog)
Bereits veröffentlicht ist die auf 500 Stück limitierte 'Crippled Black Phoenix' 10" auf Geoff Barrows (Portishead) Invada Records. Januar 2007 folgt dann der erste Longplayer 'A Love of Shared Disasters'. Man darf gespannt sein...
Amidst the seasonal chaos there is a glimmer of hope, small progress has been made and whether it makes a difference or not, a short report follows...
Firstly, we are to play at the Invada Xmas party on 23rd Dec, we will be performing as a stripped-down representation of ourselves maybe trying out something of "new" value, who knows, but it should be fun, if not interesting. There will be a gaggle of other performers on this night, go to the Espionage myspace for more info on that.
So, onto album issues, well....it is still penciled in for a late January release but that of course is subject to change, "A Love of....." will be out as a very lovely looking digi-pack CD ....and..... double-gatefold 12" vinyl which the first few dozen will have a limited 12"x24" screen printed poster made by this guy ....this is what it's about, we are looking forward to that! The Artwork has been made by an amazing artist called Brendon Palmer Angell , go look at his website.
Here's a sneak preview....
Also still in the works is the short film, shot by John Minton, filming has been completed and it should be out there pretty soon, it will feature three tracks from the album, some performance, some rehersal, some story telling footage will make up the content.
Also, this months Bizarre magazine has a live review of our first show in Bristol in October.
So, one more thing, and for the last time, i have left Electric Wizard, i keep getting asked about this and it's not my business to inform EW fans, if the band themselves can't manage to tell anyone, don't come to me, it's nothing to do with me anymore....thanks.
Anyway....
I hope this post finds you all well and i wish for you to have a wonderfull Christmas/holiday/celebration, be good and look after yourselves, family and friends.
Zitat von invadashop.co.ukPRE-ORDER NOW AND RECEIVE THIS ALBUM BEFORE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE OF MON 2ND APRIL (UK/Europe) - WE WILL POST 10 DAYS BEFORE THIS, FROM FRI 23RD MARCH.
Die 10" Sharks and Storm kommt amtlich entspannt daher und kann durchaus als Ambiente durchgehen. Und zum Ende des ersten Songs kommt mit Chorgesang und Hammond Orgel noch nettes 70th Feeling auf.
