Green Lung release new song ‘Reaper’s Scythe’

GREEN LUNG have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Reaper’s Scythe, is taken from the South London-based heavy rock quintet’s upcoming new album, Black Harvest, which is scheduled to be released in October this year. The new song was first premiered via The Obelisk.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Tom Templar says, “some key elements of Reaper’s Scythe were actually written when we were putting together our first EP Free The Witch, but we couldn’t quite find a way to bring them together. Soon after Woodland Rites came out we were playing around in our studio and added a sinister intro and an epic KING DIAMOND-esque middle 8, and suddenly it all clicked. It’s the first song we’ve written with that old school MAIDEN gallop, and horror fans will spot lots of references in the lyrics, from the familiar (Stephen King‘s Children of the Corn) to the obscure (Thomas Tryon‘s Harvest Home). It’s fast becoming our favourite song to play in the practice space. We can’t wait to unleash it live!”

Black Harvest is set for release on October 22nd via Svart Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
