Crippled Black Phoenix - White Light Generator (Deluxe) (2014)

White Light Generator (Deluxe Edition) (2014) is the sixth full-length studio album by the British supergroup Crippled Black Phoenix, led by Justin Greaves (ex-Electric Wizard, Iron Monkey).

Large-scale, dark, and hypnotic, the sound is built on contrasts: from intimate acoustic passages to monumental, wall-breaking guitar riffs, organ textures, and cinematic brass arrangements in the style of Pink Floyd, Mogwai, and Swans.

The album's lyrics and overall narrative are permeated with themes of existential angst, social injustice, and mental struggle, but also the search for hope and redemption ("white light").

The expanded edition includes bonus tracks ("Let's Have an Apocalypse Now," "Black Progression," and others) that showcase the experimental and rawer sides of the band's sound during this recording period.
