Progressive rock collective CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX will be releasing a brand new album, ‘Banefyre,’ on September 9 via Season of Mist! The album artwork, tracklist, and additional details can be found below. In conjunction with the announcement, the band is now sharing the first single, “Blackout77,” which is about the infamous New York City blackout during the chaotic summer of 1977. The video, which was created by Guilherme Henriques, can be found along with a music video at THIS LOCATION.
Mastermind Justin Greaves comments on the track:
“A story of when, just for a night, the underclass, the downtrodden, the subjugated and outcast, all exploded in a rage when the power in New York City went down. The tension of years of oppression and abuse was released. For one night the freaks made themselves known and fired arrows to the sky. ‘Blackout 77’ is one part of our ‘Banefyre,’ The Musical Journey. Fitting with the other tales and laments giving light to life’s outcasts, the freaks, the different.
“Who’s laughing now?“
Pre-orders for ‘Banefyre’ are now live HERE while the album can be pre-saved across digital streaming services HERE.
