Ellengaest 2LP black

Nach dem letzten großen Album "Great Esape" (2018) fanden sich Crippled Black Phoenix zum Start der Aufnahmen des neuen Albums "Ellengaest" plötzlich ohne Sänger und Keyboarder wieder. Ein Umstand der nicht wenige Bands in eine Krise stürzen oder aber zumindest den Produktionsprozess um Monate verschieben würde, spornt CBP-Gründer Justin Greaves ganz im Gegenteil dazu an, sich nach anderen Optionen umzuhören und er lädt kurzer Hand grossartige Gäste in Studio ein wie: Anathema's Vincent Cavanagh, Gaahls Wyrd's Kristian "Gaahl" Espedal, Coliseum/Fotocrime/one-time Crippled Black Phoenix Bassist Ryan Patterson, U.K. Solo-Artist Suzie Stapleton und Tribulation's Jonathan Hultén.
Ellengaest ist eiin umwerfendes, vielleicht das bisher stärkste Album von CBP geworden.

‘Ellengæst‘ has the difficult task of following 2018’s profound and moving ‘Great Escape‘. This new release, though, does not make any attempts in pairing with or succeeding its predecessor. Circumstances largely prevented it anyway. On the day tracking started for ‘Ellengæst‘, Crippled Black Phoenix found themselves without a male lead vocalist and keyboardist. Whereas events of a similar thread would spell doom for most bands, CBP leader Justin Greaves took it as an opportunity to tap into his deep network of musician friends.

Before he knew it, several prominent guest vocalists were secured, ready and able to lend their considerable talents to: Anathema’s Vincent Cavanagh, Gaahls Wyrd’s Kristian “Gaahl” Espedal, Coliseum/Fotocrime/one-time Crippled Black Phoenix touring bassist Ryan Patterson, up-and-coming U.K. solo artist Suzie Stapleton, and Tribulation’s Jonathan Hultén.
