Green Lung are a cult band in every sense of the word. Formed in London in 2017, their first two records »Woodland Rites« (2019) and »Black Harvest« (2021) brought a folk horror sensibility to occult rock, attracting a fanatical following in their native UK and beyond, and resulting in international tours with the likes of Clutch, festival performances from Roadburn to Bloodstock to Download, and a record deal with the world’s biggest independent heavy metal label Nuclear Blast Records.
Now, two years after the release of the critically acclaimed »Black Harvest«, the band have unveiled their most ambitious offering yet. »This Heathen Land« is the most complete manifestation of the band’s vision to date, fulfilling their long-held goal to, in the words of vocalist Tom Templar, “create the definitive soundtrack to the folk horror film in our heads.”
On »This Heathen Land«, the band have forged a sound and identity that is entirely their own, while maintaining the Sabbathian heaviness and addictive songcraft which made their previous albums so beloved in the metal underground. From the cover art to the vinyl inserts and lyrical themes, »This Heathen Land« is a painstakingly-researched and executed heavy metal love letter to the folkloric landscape of the UK.
»This Heathen Land« is the sound Green Lung have forged over their two previous records taken to its logical conclusion. This is reflected in the songwriting, with the album offering their most varied collection of songs yet.
