Crippled Black Phoenix have finished recording two albums, they will be active during 2009.
"Crippled Black Phoenix have, in their relatively short life, generated many rumours and script. 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.

the box booklet cover
The boxed 2-album set, featuring, "The Resurrectionists" & "Night Raider" and a 46 page booklet with tons of images and writings. Even though this release is limited, it is the definitive version of the newest CBP songs, it's the way it's meant to be!
"200 Tons Of Bad Luck". The general release, comes in a digi-pack w/28 page booklet and features a collection of songs from "Thew Resurrectionists" & "Night Raider". If ye have the full box set version then CBP sugest you don't need to spend more money on this, unless you want the superb artwork or you're a nerdy collector (aren't we all?).
The Copenhagen gig was probably my best concert this year. Absolutely mind blowing. Hope you'll come again sometime even though there wasn't enough people. Thanks man, you made my hangover the next day totally worthwhile.
Great gig last night in Copenhagen! Thanks for playing that instr. vers. of Burnt Reynolds =D So gutted I had to leave early because of my freakin train =(
