This Heathen Land (Limited Edition) (Amber Smoke Vinyl) [LP]

Green Lung are a cult band in the truest sense of the word. Formed in London in 2017, their first two albums 'Woodland Rites' (2019) and 'Black Harvest' (2021) brought a folk-horror sensibility to occult rock that attracted a rabid fanbase in their native UK and beyond, leading to international tours with the likes of Clutch, festival appearances from Roadburn to Bloodstock to Download and a record deal with the world's biggest independent heavy metal label Nuclear Blast Records.

Now, two years after the release of the critically acclaimed "Black Harvest", the band have released their most ambitious work to date. "This Heathen Land" is the most complete manifestation of the band's vision to date and fulfills their long-held goal of creating, in the words of vocalist Tom Templar, "the definitive soundtrack to the folk horror movie in our heads".

On "This Heathen Land", the band has created a sound and identity that is all their own, while retaining the Sabbatian heaviness and captivating songcraft that made their earlier albums so popular in the metal underground. From the cover art to the vinyl inserts to the lyrical themes, "This Heathen Land" is heavy metal's carefully researched and executed love letter to the folkloric landscape of Britain.

"This Heathen Land" is the sound that Green Lung forged on their two previous albums, taken to its logical conclusion here. This is also reflected in the songwriting, as the album offers their most varied collection of songs to date.
