Fronted by Justin Greaves, Crippled Black Phoenix has carved a path that speaks to the voiceless, the marginalized, and the disenchanted. “The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” is a raw and evocative testament to their journey – an anthology of reworked and re-recorded classics that resonate with renewed vigor and raw emotion.

Drawing from the echoes of their rich past, this album traipses through time, breathing new life into anthems that have shaped the band’s immortal spirit. From the extended odyssey of ‘Song For The Unloved’ to the resurrection of the lost-classic ‘Whissendine,’ each track showcases their unwavering commitment to exploring the human condition and the perpetual struggle for justice and equality.

This year, Crippled Black Phoenix are celebrating their 20-year existence. They’re doing this by releasing a two-part album with classics & covers of songs that have inspired their long journey. Season of Mist is now streaming “The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” on the YouTube channel.

The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature
An album which exhumes and resurrects their buried treasures, reworking and re-recording iconic tracks that have weathered the storms of time. These anthems – imbued with the rawness of old friends and new allies – surge with renewed vigor, challenging the very essence of complacency. Anthem such as ‘We Forgotten Who We Are’ or the lead single ‘Goodnight, Europe,’ completely re-imagined.

Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2)
An album which serves as a dark homage to the musical titans who ignited their spirit, with visceral covers that explode into life. With tracks like the searing rendition of New Model Army’s ‘Vengeance’ and the haunting introspection of Laura Branigan’s ‘Self Control’, this album is a collection of Crippled Black Phoenix‘s masterful rendition of classic songs which have inspired them over the years.

“The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” plus “Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2)” is out November 29 on Season of Mist. You can pre-order the double album at this link.
