Heavy Post-Rock quintet Crippled Black Phoenix have shared the official lyric video for their epic new single “Goodnight, Europe (Pt2)” taken from the band’s upcoming new album “The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” and is a sequel of sorts to “Gooodnight, Europe,” from the band’s 2007 debut album “A Love Of Shared Disasters.” “The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” finds the band exploring and reworking songs from that and earlier releases such as 2010’s “I Vigilante” and 2011’s “The Resurrectionists” as they celebrate their 20th anniversary.

Featuring a stunning vocal from Belinda Kordic, “Goodnight, Europe (Pt2)” unsurprisingly sees the band compel the listener to confront uncomfortable realities and long-buried truths looking at a fractured European landscape and the haunting nostalgia for what once was.
At the same time the Crippled Black Phoenix will release “Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2),” a collection that serves as a companion to 2017’s “Horrific Honorifics” and which features a selection of covers of tracks, such as “New Model Army’s Vengeance” and even Laura Brannigan‘s “Self Control,” which gave inspired the band.
Both “The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature” and “Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2)” are released through Season Of Mist Records on November 29, 2024.
