Green Lung announce third album This Heathen Land, release single Mountain Throne

Right before they hit the road for their biggest UK headline tour to date, Green Lung will be releasing their third album This Heathen Land.

Their new record is due out on November 3 via Nuclear Blast, and vocalist Tom Templar proudly enthuses that, “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.”

To kick off this cycle, the band have unveiled new single Mountain Throne, which Tom explains 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!”
