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 balladsā 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, āA Love Of Shared Disastersā, followed in 2009 by āThe Resurrectionistsā & āNight Raiderā, but it was their fourth album released in 2010 on Invada Records ā āI, Vigilanteā - an album of uncompromising soundscapes that garnered the band & album widespread critical acclaim within the media worldwide.
On āI, Vigilanteā, CBP create songs that feel both sky-crackingly epic & intimate at the same time. āWe Forgotten Who We Areā is an 11 minute thundering storm which powers through sections of headnodding chugging guitars to a sunrise of happy melody & back, āFantastic Justiceā is a staggering display of songwriting, with twists & turns that make the band sound like a mini orchestra ā horns, strings, crashes & swoons with Greaves the dark conductor. The spoken-word opening to āBastogne Bluesā is perfectly evocative for a genuinely troubled song, CBPās command of bleakness is at its strongest here; cinematic doesnāt come close to describing the songās emotional resonance. When āI, Vigilanteā threatens to disintegrate into a black hole of misery, a faithfully screaming version of Journeyās āOf A Lifetimeā shows a sense of humour & some sweet guitar tones.
This edition of āI, Vigilanteā is presented on black vinyl LP & is the first time the album has been released on single vinyl on Kscope.
