About the new LP from GREEN LUNG, 'Black Harvest':

Picking up where the self-released Woodland Rites left off, on Black Harvest, GREEN LUNG continues to draw inspiration from Britain's rich history of folklore, from witchcraft, and from cultish horror films. Nature - as always - is woven into the fabric of the songs; this time around the album was recorded in late autumn, and the seasonal atmosphere seeped into the music, which is redolent of mists, falling leaves, and the crumbling glory of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries of London, the city the band calls home.

GREEN LUNG Release Lyric Video for "Upon The Altar" - New LP 'Black Harvest' Out Oct. 22

With just one week to go before the release of Black Harvest, GREEN LUNG have premiered a new lyric video for their single "Upon The Altar". 'Black Harvest', the highly anticipated follow-up to 2019's Woodland Rites, will be released via Svart Records on October 22, 2021. The track is available to stream on all digital platforms - alongside three other singles. 'Black Harvest' will be available on heavy-weight vinyl, CD, and digital formats, and is available to pre-order here.

GREEN LUNG vocalist Tom Templar comments: "With only a week to go until the release of Black Harvest, we thought we'd celebrate by releasing a lyrics video for our latest single Upon the Altar, chopping up some of our favorite altar scenes from sleazy 70s horror movies. Upon the Altar is a tribute to all these movies - especially Dracula AD 1972 - and you should go check all of them out ahead of Halloween. Also, be forewarned - this video is definitely not in any way safe for work.'’

Black Harvest is already collecting accolades from the press, with Metal Hammer scoring the album 8 out of10, and The Guardian summarising its appeal as Green Lung offering "an occultish vision of Britain that fits neatly into the alternate England also inhabited by director Ben Wheatley’s rural eccentrics, fanzine Weird Walk’s doomy pagan ramblings and Cornwall’s eerie Museum of Witchcraft."

Recorded at Giant Wafer Studios in rural mid-Wales over the course of two weeks with longtime producer Wayne Adams (Petbrick, Big Lad), before being mastered by John Davis at Metropolis (Led Zeppelin, Royal Blood), Black Harvest is a more expansive and textured record than anything the band has done before, boasting a cinematic quality and more attention to detail. All samples were sourced from the local countryside and from instruments found in the studio, including the haunting opening vocal of The Harrowing which was recorded on a whim after the band broke into the local church (the organ can be heard creaking in the background).

GREEN LUNG recently completed a run of UK dates ahead of the release of Black Harvest. More dates will continue to be announced; the band will play Damnation Festival 2021 and Desertfest 2022.

GREEN LUNG Premiere "Graveyard Sun" Music Video - New LP 'Black Harvest' Out Oct. 22

GREEN LUNG have premiered a new video for their single, "Graveyard Sun" via Louder. "Graveyard Sun" is taken from the band's upcoming new album, 'Black Harvest', which will be released via Svart Records on October 22, 2021. The track is available to stream on all digital platforms, and the video premiere is published alongside GREEN LUNG's picks of occult rock albums. 'Black Harvest' will be available on heavy-weight vinyl, CD, and digital formats, and is available to pre-order here.

Vocalist Tom Templar comments, "Graveyard Sun felt like the most cinematic song on Black Harvest, so it was a logical choice for a music video. We were very lucky to collaborate with director Billy Price of Puppy and actor Julian Firth of Scum fame to take you on a paranormal trip into the vaults of Nunhead Cemetery. We had a lot of fun trying to capture a vibe somewhere between 70s paranormal investigation and the cinema of Jean Rollin, and hope you enjoy watching!’'

GREEN LUNG premiere second single from forthcoming album, 'Black Harvest'

GREEN LUNG have today premiered the second single to be taken from their forthcoming new album, Black Harvest. Reaper's Scythe is premiering now via The Obelisk, and will be available on all streaming platforms from this Friday, July 30. Black Harvest will be released this autumn via Svart Records, and the first single, Leaders of the Blind, is streaming everywhere now. Black Harvest will be available on heavy weight vinyl, CD and digital formats, and is available to pre-order here ahead of its release on October 22.

Singer, Tom Templar, commented: ‘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!'.’

GREEN LUNG vocalist Tom Templar comments: "After reissuing Woodland Rites we were beset by the plague and the cancellation of our tour schedule. But these events gave us the chance to hide away like hermits in the middle of nowhere and create the definitive soundtrack to the folk horror film in our heads. We are grateful to all our fans for their patience, and we can’t wait to finally bring these songs to life onstage later this year."
