Recommended New Release: Crippled Black Phoenix – (Mankind) The Crafty Ape

Crippled Black Phoenix – (Mankind) The Crafty Ape Crippled Black Phoenix – (Mankind) The Crafty Ape | MP3
Download “A Letter Concerning Dogheads” (mp3)

The fifth album by Crippled Black Phoenix, (Mankind) The Crafty Ape, is an ambitious, 86-minute opus. The album is broken into three chapters – A Thread, The Trap, and The Blues of Man – and explores the corruption of mankind with a twinge of hope that everything is not doomed. These long songs have melodic lead guitar solos over a base of synthesizers, brass, strings, a musical saw, and electronic tones. With its far-reaching and flowing themes and symphonic rock sound, it brings to mind a modern version of Pink Floyd.
