Crippled Black Phoenix have released a stream of their new track Winning A Losing Battle.

It features on the band’s upcoming sixth album Bronze, which will launch on November 4 via Season Of Mist.

Mainman Justin Greaves says of the track: “Some songs depart from my mind into reality without consent. Winning A Losing Battle is one of those.

“The track just barged itself into the world. It is also one of the musically unconventional Crippled Black Phoenix style of songs that keep appearing on our albums.

“The title says it all. We have been through a lot of adversity as a band in these past two years and even though it seemed that all is doomed at times – We never gave up or gave in. We just say ‘screw you’ to the people and forces that tried to bring us down.

“Crippled Black Phoenix win, and always will.”

The band previously released a stream of No Fun from the album. They’ll head out on a European tour in December.
