Background information about 'Sceaduhelm'

Crippled Black Phoenix returns with "Sceaduhelm", their most introspective and austere statement yet. This isn't your typical grand narrative - it's a psychological deep dive into emotional erosion, fatigue, and the quiet collapse that follows when the noise finally stops. Written between 2023 and 2025, this album strips away spectacle to focus on what remains after the dust settles and the outrage fades.

The songwriting here is all about slow builds and unresolved tension, deliberately avoiding catharsis in favor of endurance. Vocals are shared between Belinda Kordic, Ryan Patterson, and Justin Storms, each bringing their own distinct perspective to the same emotional terrain. Themes of burnout, memory, violence against the vulnerable, and love worn thin surface without drama or excess. Produced by Justin Greaves and mixed by Iver Sandøy, the sound remains deliberately raw and exposed, refusing comfort at every turn.

For fans of:
Swans, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Codeine, Mark Lanegan
