Crippled Black Phoenix are to release a brand new studio album "White Light Generator" on 17 March 2014 through Cool Green Recordings, part of the Mascot Label Group. The album will be released as a CD, limited edition vinyl set (2LP + 7 inch), digital album and digital deluxe album (iTunes only). This new collection marks not only the band’s tenth anniversary, but also the start of a new chapter in the intriguing and sometimes confusing history of CBP.

Following 2012’s "(Mankind) The Crafty Ape" studio album, the min-album "No Sadness Of Farewell" and "Live Poznan" in 2013, "White Light Generator" brings us right up to date. The album features new vocalist of Daniel Änghede as well as the usual suspects, Justin Greaves, Mark Furnevall, Christian Heilmann, Ben Wilsker, Karl Demata and Daisy Chapman, plus guest performances from Belinda Kordic (who featured on the last two CBP albums and works as a team with Greaves in Se Delan) & Chrissie Caulfield (who played violin on past CBP tours).

The music on the album itself reflects the past year of upheaval, and is laced with the band’s trademark progressive heaviness and weirdness. "White Light Generator" is split into two quite distinct halves, with the first half (Black Light) bearing the heavier side of the music, and the second half (White Light) features the more simple, dark and melodic songs. Justin Greaves said, "Sonically, I wanted to make an album that's more simple, just good songs which are more about feeling than musical prowess, an album which relies more on the natural sounds of analogue, of course we've always worked that way, but this time there's less meddling and manipulation in the production, I think it came out well as a result. If you like older, more warm and mushy, less sparkly clean sounds, then you may like this".


Laid down at Chapel Studio in deepest Lincolnshire, where the previous two albums were also recorded, "White Light Generator" was again engineered by Ewan Davies and produced by Justin Greaves. Justin commented, "We've made an album that is more of a show of what CBP is deep down inside, without all the flashy-bells-ringing-grandeur... Well, less of it anyway". Crippled Black Phoenix are leading the way in the underground alt-progressive genre and "White Light Generator" is another important addition to the output of an increasingly important British band

A LIQUID LANDSCAPE
Washed up, tired and staggering across a beach in the early hours of the morning. Somewhere in the twilight between desperation and surrender, there is still a glimmer of hope. That sense that everything will be alright, no matter what the odds are. This is what A Liquid Landscape sounds like.

Their debut album, entitled ‘Nightingale Express’, is all about a journey, both inwards and outwards. It´s about finding a place to belong, a brooding sense of uncertainty and, ultimately, self deception. Like any journey, it has its ups and downs, it´s highs and lows. But ‘Nightingale Express’ is much more than just a concept album. The band wanted to go all out, so they hired moviemaker Lex Vesseur to create something to accompany the album visually. The result is a short film with spectacular imagery, to be shown during live shows and available on the website.

A Liquid Landscape have shared the stage with many bands like Karnivool (AUS), Anathema (UK) Riverside (PL) and Thrice (US) and played in major venues such as 013 and the Melkweg. Not to mention being a Dutch Grand Prize finalist in 2010. A Liquid Lanscape have just finished working on their debut album, Nightingale Express, which is mixed and mastered by Australian top producer Forrester Savell. Known from productions for Karnivool and Helmet. ‘Nightingale Express’ will be featured by a short movie from moviemaker Lex Vesseur, and will be released January 2012. Both the music and film return in an interactive rock show with live VJ
