Crippled Black Phoenix- A Love of Shared Disasters

A Love of Shared Disasters

I really don't know how to describe this band. It's commonly referred to as post-rock, but I can't say I'd totally agree. Anyways, Crippled Black Phoenix is the brainchild of members from: Iron Monkey, Gonga, Mogwai, Electric Wizard, etc. Yes, quite a strange mix, I know. This sounds nothing like any of them. This is where Wikipedia helps me: "The band writes what they call 'endtime ballads,' signifying both the slightly macabre nature of their songs and their unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. This strange blend has led to them being called everything from stoner-prog to freak-folk to doom." Now, I can see a slight doom/sludge influence (who couldn't with members from Iron Monkey, Gonga, and Electric Wizard), but not in the sense that it's doom-ey. Give it a shot.
