About the album

Crippled Black Phoenix's latest opus, "The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature," is a profound journey through time and transformation. This release marks two decades of the band’s existence and serves as both a reflection and reinvention of their storied past. The album revisits classic tracks, re-recorded with fresh perspectives and renewed vigor. With Justin Greaves at its creative helm, the record pulsates with raw emotion and introspection, exploring themes of justice and human condition through extended narratives like "Song For The Loved" and resurrected treasures such as "Whissendine." This collection is not merely an anthology but a living testament to the band's enduring spirit and their commitment to giving voice to the marginalized.

The accompanying piece, "Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2)," further delves into CBP's musical influences. These renditions pay homage to iconic artists who've shaped their unique soundscape. Tracks like New Model Army's "Vengeance" resonate with defiance, while their haunting interpretation of Laura Branigan's "Self Control" challenges listeners to engage with these classics anew. Both works together underscore Crippled Black Phoenix's legacy as a beacon for those unheard, encapsulating their ethos of defiance and introspection.
