Green Lung, founded in London in 2017, is a unique force in modern heavy metal, weaving occult themes with the raw essence of British folklore. Known for albums like Woodland Rites (2019) and Black Harvest (2021), Green Lung has brought their distinctive “folk horror” approach to occult rock, drawing on eerie rural landscapes, ancient British legends, and pagan mystique. Their music captivates with Sabbath-like heaviness and the haunting allure of mysterious stories.
Their latest release, This Heathen Land (2023), is their most ambitious project, embodying the vision to capture the British landscape’s mysticism in sound. With richly textured instrumentation, including vintage synthesizers and Hammond organs, Green Lung invites listeners to explore Albion’s hidden, ancient lore. It’s a powerful love letter to British folklore, combining resonant riffs and grand, atmospheric compositions, making This Heathen Land a quintessential soundtrack to an imagined “folk horror” journey across the British countryside.
