Crippled Black Phoenix are now announcing the release of their new EP, Painful Reminder / Dead is Dead, set be released on July 16th via Season Of Mist. Coinciding with this EP announcement, the group have decided to premiere "Painful Reminder" (SNFU cover) track as the first preview tune. Additionally, the four-piece is happy to introduce their new male vocalist/lyricist Joel Segerstedt.




The band comments: "The first thing we're doing after Ellengæst is a special single. A cover version of the classic SNFU song "Painful Reminder". And it features new vocalist/lyricist Joel Segerstedt. He joins the band to be the male voice and the contrast to Belinda Kordic in the female/male dynamic which is now an integral part of the CBP sound. Being a Stockholm resident, it seems all the more serendipitous that we find each other. And after hearing his vocal talent in his other band The Open Up And Bleeds, we knew Joel could be the missing piece of the jigsaw.

"This release is a way of introducing Joel to our crowd while at the same time, paying tribute to the SNFU vocalist Mr Chi Pig. The song was already on the shortlist of cover song ideas Justin (Greaves) keeps in his pocket, but now was the time to do it because of the sad passing of Chi Pig in 2020. It seemed the right thing to pay our respects to a talented and underrated singer/lyricist and unique character in the punk rock world."
