I Vigilante (Vinyl)
U.K. progressive post-rock supergroup Crippled Black Phoenix is a musical collective that has featured nearly 30 members in its rotating roster. The constant driving force is multi- instrumentalist Justin Greaves (Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey Se Delan), who formed the band in 2004 with Mogwai bassist Dominic Aitchison. Creating what they describe as "endtime balladsâ to signify both the slightly macabre nature of their songs & the unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. The band have made live shows a focus by performing in unusual venues across the world as well as using Victorian-era instruments in tandem with more modern instruments, often involving more than a dozen members onstage.
In 2006, Crippled Black Phoenix released their first album, âA Love Of Shared Disastersâ, followed in 2009 by âThe Resurrectionistsâ & âNight Raiderâ, but it was their fourth album released in 2010 on Invada Records â âI, Vigilanteâ - an album of uncompromising soundscapes that garnered the band & album widespread critical acclaim within the media worldwide.
On âI, Vigilanteâ, CBP create songs that feel both sky-crackingly epic & intimate at the same time. âWe Forgotten Who We Areâ is an 11 minute thundering storm which powers through sections of headnodding chugging guitars to a sunrise of happy melody & back, âFantastic Justiceâ is a staggering display of songwriting, with twists & turns that make the band sound like a mini orchestra â horns, strings, crashes & swoons with Greaves the dark conductor. The spoken-word opening to âBastogne Bluesâ is perfectly evocative for a genuinely troubled song, CBPâs command of bleakness is at its strongest here; cinematic doesnât come close to describing the songâs emotional resonance. When âI, Vigilanteâ threatens to disintegrate into a black hole of misery, a faithfully screaming version of Journeyâs âOf A Lifetimeâ shows a sense of humour & some sweet guitar tones.
This edition of âI, Vigilanteâ is presented on black vinyl LP & is the first time the album has been released on single vinyl on Kscope.
