Limited olive colored vinyl LP pressing. "This is heavy metal how it should be done" - The Guardian A cult band in every sense of the word, Green Lung emerged from London's heavy rock scene with self-released debut EP Free the Witch (2018). Drawing on a host of peculiarly British musical influences, from doomy hard rock to pastoral prog and psych to the Hammer Horror theatrics of the NWOBHM, the band have swiftly risen to the forefront of the UK metal scene. Lyrically celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of Britain, they conjure the wild and witchy spirit of their forebears for a new generation. Signed to Nuclear Blast, Green Lung have released three critically acclaimed albums, Woodland Rites (2019), Black Harvest (2021) and This Heathen Land (2023). They have toured internationally with CLUTCH and performed on festival stages from Roadburn to Download. Their latest album This Heathen Land landed at #1 on the UK's Official Rock and Metal Album Chart.
Picked this up as my introduction to Green Lung and it did not disappoint. Woodland Rites is a great slice of British heavy rock with folk and doom touches, and the olive colored vinyl looks sharp spinning on the table. The pressing sounds full and warm, with the riffs coming through clearly. Ideal for anyone into the band's later albums like Black Harvest or This Heathen Land who wants to hear where it started. Solid addition to the shelf.
