They roam laggardly through rural post-rock,
prog, folk, ambient and doom metal pastures
without even trying your patience. Some parts are
prettily sinister - think Godspeed meets The
League Of entlemen - while others are curiously
euphoric. Highly recommended." Uncut
"Lupus Pilum Mutat, Non Mentem" - The wolf may
change its fur, but not its nature. This is the
sentiment that runs throughout the new six (6)
track album "I, Vigilante". It encompasses words
of warn-ing and tales of trouble from times past
up to the present, songs of standing your ground
and stories from our history, for it is only
through history we truly exist.
"I, Vigilante" is something of a catch-up point
for CBP as even though the last mammoth albums
were only released last year, the songs on "The
Resurrectionists" and "Night Raider" are in fact
older, dating back to 2007. So to save
frustrations and to keep the gears oiled, CBP have
recorded five (5) new songs to release this
summer. This is not the usual type of album in
CBPs world, it per-forms a slightly different
agenda, shorter and to-the-point, although the
running time is still around the 45 minute mark.
It makes more of a statement of where the band is
in the live arena, with a noticeably raw and less
produced approach. But this is not to say the next
album will be the same, or there's a new
direction, in fact there are plans for a more
comprehensive full-length album to be completed by
the end of the year.
This new recording includes the songs
"Troublemaker", We Forgotten Who We Are",
"Fantastic Justice" and the massive tribute to
WWII veterans of the Battle Of The Bulge "Bastogne
Blues". Also included is CBPs faithful tribute to
the 1st Journey album (the FIRST one, i.e. before
Steve Perry) in the form of the song "Of A
Lifetime" and a cover from Mike Curb.
Spring, 2010 A.D. saw CBP touring in April/May,
with a few select UK & Ireland shows and then
ainland Europe, taking in Germany, Poland, Czech
Republic, Slovinia and Italy. To follow up there
are also plans for some interesting festival
appearances and another trip around Europe in late
October through November. Keep on the lookout for
dates added in the coming weeks.
