CD VERSION

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX
‘I, Vigilante’ released 6th September 2010 on Invada Records

“they roam laggardly through rural post-rock, prog, folk, ambient and doom metal pastures without even trying your patience. Some parts are prettily sinister - think Godspeed meets The League Of Gentlemen - while others are curiously euphoric. Highly recommended." Uncut

Activity, 2010 A.D.

"Lupus Pilum Mutat, Non Mentem" - The wolf may change its fur, but not its nature. This is the sentiment that runs throughout the new six (6) track album "I, Vigilante". It encompasses words of warning and tales of trouble from times past up to the present, songs of standing your ground and stories from our history, for it is only through history we truly exist.

"I, Vigilante" is something of a catch-up point for CBP as even though the last mammoth albums were only released last year, the songs on "The Resurrectionists" and "Night Raider" are in fact older, dating back to 2007. So to save frustrations and to keep the gears oiled, CBP have recorded five (5) new songs to release this summer. This is not the usual type of album in CBPs world, it performs a slightly different agenda, shorter and to-the-point, although the running time is still around the 45 minute mark. It makes more of a statement of where the band is in the live arena, with a noticeably raw and less produced approach.

This new recording includes the songs "Troublemaker", We Forgotten Who We Are", "Fantastic Justice" and the massive tribute to WWII veterans of the Battle Of The Bulge "Bastogne Blues". Also included is CBPs faithful tribute to the 1st Journey album (the FIRST one, i.e. before Steve Perry) in the form of the song "Of A Lifetime".
