Stoner doom rockers Crippled Black Phoenix are not just a supergroup, they are the supergroup. At least to their way of thinking seeing as they happily proclaim themselves to be the final evolution of music. That’s to say, nothing will come after them of any significance musically. Whether that’s because they’ve taken music as an artform to its final stage of development, or just because the world is going to end and there will be no more music after them only because there won’t be any of anything after that. Both positions are fair, and the former is slightly more positive, but really, since the world is due to end this year the latter is probably the more correct. Cheerily.
Honestly, I was hoping for something a little more restful to soundtrack my Armageddon, but if we’re going to go out with a bang, or even with a zombie holocaust, then these guys will fill the bill quite nicely. If you’ll allow me to say.
