Fronted by Justin Greaves, Crippled Black Phoenix has carved a path that speaks to the voiceless, the marginalized, and the disenchanted. »The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature« is a raw and evocative testament to their journey – an anthology of reworked and re-recorded classics that resonate with renewed vigor and raw emotion.

Drawing from the echoes of their rich past, this album traipses through time, breathing new life into anthems that have shaped the band’s immortal spirit.
