CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX – New Dark Age Tour EP 2015 A.D. – December 22, 2015

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX will be joining the three CONVERGE “Blood Moon” shows in Europe! The acclaimed dark rockers founded by multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves are in turn supported by 40 WATT SUN and in London only also by THE BODY and FULL OF HELL. Please see below for details. Ticket sale has already started and we strongly recommend to book early.

CONVERGE “Blood Moon” is a collaboration between members Jacob Bannon, Kurt Ballou, Nate Newton, and Ben Koller and guest musicians Chelsea Wolfe, Ben Chisholm, Stephen Brodsky, and Steve von Till. Together as a multi-instrumental group they will create renditions of existing CONVERGE material focusing on the band’s slower, more ambitious work within their legendary catalog.

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX already released a new EP in advance of their previous European tour in autumn 2015. The release is titled ‘New Dark Age Tour EP 2015 A.D.’ The EP is still available in carious formats from the Season of Mist shop!

Justin Greaves commented: “Our ‘New Dark Age’ tour EP represents a new chapter in the CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX history. I feel like it is time to be truly free of industry and personal bullshit. It also connects what we have gone through as a band with what is going on in the big wide world. It really feels as if we are living in a new ‘dark age’. Religious and political oppression, the population being fed constant untruths – all of this reminds me of the priests in the middle-ages telling folk about dog-headed monsters living in the woods, but if you repent and join the church, they will protect you. The song ‘Spider Island’ is more personal. There I mentally put all the bad people… recently there have been a few people who need to go to Spider Island and live a life of torture along with all the other scumbags, who cling to power in the world.”
