Crippled Black Phoenix, A Love of Shared Disasters

UK, 2007

Justin Greaves (Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine), encouraged by good friend Dominic Aitchison (Mogwai), started recording songs he had in his head, creating the basis for the stunning post-rock sound of Crippled Black Phoenix. To complete the line-up, Andy Semmens (Esoteric, Ereipia), Kostas Panagiotou (Pantheist, Wijlen Wij), Nial McGaughey (16, 3D House of Beef), Joe Volk (Gonga), amongst others, have joined them. Not only are the songs extremely well polished, the vocals are also perfect. As a matter of fact, if you visit Joe's space and listen to his solo work, you might fall in love.
