Drawing musical influences from an eclectic range of sounds old and new, yet standing alone in a genre that's not quite been defined, a sound that is hard to call, some are hearing prog-folk, some hear mournful balladry, but whatever their take on it, Crippled Black Phoenix are happily oblivious to it all.
