Musical Group

English rock collective formed by Justin Greaves in the mid-2000s, known for expansive, melancholic, genre‑blending albums and a rotating lineup.

Formed by drummer Justin Greaves, Crippled Black Phoenix are an English band active since 2004. Early releases were associated with Invada Records (Geoff Barrow). The band is known for blending post‑rock, folk and prog elements and for a frequently changing lineup.

DeBaser reviews describe Crippled Black Phoenix as an English collective blending post‑rock, dark folk and prog flavors into epic, melancholic songs. Critics praise long, immersive tracks and strong live presence while sometimes faulting prolixity and uneven moments. Early releases and the double album The Resurrectionists/Night Raider receive particular attention.

For:Listeners of post-rock, progressive/alternative rock, dark folk and cinematic, melancholic music.

 The Crippled Black Phoenix mean so much to me.
