"CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX AT THEIR CAPTIVATING BEST, FOR A NIGHT OF PROGRESSIVE / POST-ROCK MAGIC CAPTURED IN BERN, SWITZERLAND


U.K. progressive post-rock supergroup Crippled Black Phoenix is a musical collective featuring the multi-instrumentalist driving force 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 ballads” to signify both the slightly macabre nature of their songs and 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 on-stage.


‘We Shall See Victory – Live in Bern 2012 A.D.’ features the band in tantalising form, captured at Dachstock in Bern, Switzerland during their extensive European tour of 2012. This double-disc release contains live renditions of classics taken from the band’s early repertoire, and primarily material from what was Crippled Black Phoenix’s latest release, the acclaimed ‘(Mankind) The Crafty Ape’, which the band was on the road in support of at the time.


An eclectic ride across 17 tracks of brooding rock anthems and the band’s signature, soaring, melancholy-tinged epics, ‘We Shall See Victory…’ exudes the true raw potency of Crippled Black Phoenix’s spellbinding, collaborative magic in the live setting."
