CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX Confront Memory and Relapse on New Single “Ravenettes”

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX present “Ravenettes”, a central and formative composition from their forthcoming album Sceaduhelm. Written as the first piece for the record, the track established the tonal and emotional framework that would shape the album as a whole. Built on repetition, restraint, and controlled momentum, “Ravenettes” captures a state of psychological vigilance, where suppressed memories resurface without warning and avoidance proves only briefly effective.

“Ravenettes” frames trauma as cyclical rather than resolved, returning again and again as a “glitch in the timeline.” Musically, its stripped-back construction and insistent rhythmic pulse mirror this sense of inevitability, favouring tension over release.

The official music video for “Ravenettes” was produced in collaboration with 9LITER FILMY, an audiovisual production collective recognised for its cinematic restraint and emphasis on mood-driven storytelling. Known for work that favours atmosphere, repetition, and visual tension over linear narrative, 9LITER FILMY’s approach mirrors the song’s exploration of memory as disruption rather than closure.
