Background information about 'Sceaduhelm'

What happens when the dust settles after the storm? Crippled Black Phoenix delivers their most introspective statement yet with "Sceaduhelm", an album that doesn't just explore darkness – it inhabits it completely. This isn't your typical progressive rock journey; it's a psychological excavation that strips away all pretense to reveal the raw nerve endings of human exhaustion. Written between 2023 and 2025, the record unfolds like a fever dream of emotional erosion, where repetition becomes meditation and unresolved tension becomes the only honest resolution.

The vocal trinity of Belinda Kordic, Ryan Patterson, and Justin Storms creates a haunting dialogue throughout tracks like "One Man Wall of Death" and "Beautiful Destroyer". Each voice carries its own weight of weariness, yet together they form something greater than the sum of their fatigue. Produced by Justin Greaves and mixed by Iver Sandøy, the sound deliberately avoids comfort – this is music that listens closely to what remains when the shouting stops, focusing on consequence rather than reaction.

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