Green Lung announce new album ‘This Heathen Land’
GREEN LUNG have announced a new album!
Titled This Heathen Land, the upcoming album from the psych-laden hard rock band is the follow-up to 2021’s Black Harvest, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
The upcoming album was produced by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studios and was mixed by Tom Dalgety [OPETH, CLUTCH, GHOST]. This Heathen Land intends to be 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. We couldn’t be more excited to share This Heathen Land with the world. This album is the culmination of five years of work as a band; an odyssey into the weird and wonderful world of British folklore that melds together our myriad influences – classic rock, doom, NWOBHM, horror film soundtracks, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop – and fashions something out of them that is utterly our own.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Mountain Throne. Speaking about the new song, Templar says, “Mountain Throne was the first song we wrote for the album, and feels like a natural bridge from the old GREEN LUNG to the new. We’ve always been inspired by the story of the Pendle Witches, and such an iconic subject required an epic rallying cry of a song – we hope that we’ve done these folk heroes justice!”
