Crippled Black Phoenix is a band from the United Kingdom, formed in 2004. The band has described their own songs as'end time ballads'. And it constantly and legitimately refuses being tagged as'post-rock' or'indie-folk'. 'Born from a blizzard of horned cats, Crippled Black Phoenix bring you a twisted cinematic experience, handcrafted by a mercenary crew of underground heavyweights, giving depth and gravity to regal songs about love, loss, tragedies and redemption. '
Surely one of Bristol's most ambitious Post-Rock bands. Austere not only manage to create impressively uncompromising epics, but they execute such songs with the style and expertise of bands twice their age. In songs such as'Jennifer' Austere conjure a sonic maelstrom that draws similarities to This Will Destroy You and Explosions in the Sky, while skilfully maintaining a fresh and distinctive sound. - Dave Larkinn - Ditone Events.
