While recognized as trailblazers for their melodic and macabra vision, to celebrate their 20th anniversary, Crippled Black Phoenix are rewriting their introduction to the world of metal. The first chapter of their upcoming two-part compilation album presents new versions of the dark rock band's early signature songs, including a gloomier "Goodnight, Europe (Pt2)" and updated lyrics for the ever-prescient "444".
The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature comes out on CD and vinyl November 29 on Season of Mist, but the album is now available to stream on digital platforms.
Listen to all eight reinvigorated tracks on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.
Pre-order & Pre-save
The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature revisits many of Crippled Black Phoenix's beloved endtime ballads, but the album proves that this band stand the test of time. From the extended odyssey "Song For The Unloved" to lost classic "Whissendine", Justin Greaves (ex Iron Monkey and Electric Wizard), long-time vocalist Belinda Kordic and their trusted collaborators remain committed to giving a voice to the voiceless.
The second part of this compilation continues the UK band's tradition of haunting homages. Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2) features new covers of Fugazi, NoMeansNo, Deep Purple, Built to Spill and Lauran Branigan's Top 10 hit "Self Control". Both the digital and physical versions of this covers album come out November 29.
