Debut album Woodland Rites, released independently in early 2019, quickly garnered attention, resulting in a single being named ‘Track of the Week’ in the Guardian, plays on Daniel P. Carter’s Radio One Rock Show, a tour with fellow UK heavies Puppy and festival appearances across Europe. This brought the band to the attention of the wider music industry, and after multiple offers (including one from a major label) the band decided to stay true to their roots and sign with the Finnish audio wizards at Svart Records, home to several of their doomy inspirations including Reverend Bizarre and Warning. Svart’s deluxe reissue of the album, and the preceding EP Free the Witch,sold out several runs. Two years later, the folk horror-obsessed fivesome have re-emerged from their mulchy catacombs armed with dozens of freshly-whittled riffs. Black Harvest, the sequel to Woodland Rites, is a more colourful, widescreen reimagining of the band’s sound - Dawn of the Dead to its predecessor’s Night of the Living. Recorded at Giant Wafer Studios in rural mid-Wales over the course of two weeks with longtime producer Wayne Adams (Petbrick, Big Lad), it’s a more expansive and textured record than anything the band have 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 (you can hear the organ creaking in the background). The album was recorded in late autumn, and that 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 call home. The album also soaks in new sonics beyond the ‘Black Sabbath meets Brian May’ blueprint of what went before. ‘The Harrowing’ takes the band’s tradition of instrumental opening tracks to dizzy new heights, like Atomic Rooster jamming with Boston, while ballad ‘Graveyard Sun’, based on the folklore around the ‘Highgate Vampire’, adds gothic synth lines that would give Type O Negative pangs of jealousy. That’s not to say the hooks n’ heaviness approach that made the band’s name isn’t here in abundance, as the Sabbathmeets-Purple chug and groove of evolutionary lead single ‘Leaders of the Blind’ and the Hammer Horror riff frenzy of ‘Upon the Altar’ prove. Closer ‘Born to a Dying World’ is unlike anything the band have written before, an endtimes ballad with an almost gospelly feel, tying the band’s omnipresent nature themes to the Anthropocene. Mastered by John Davis at Metropolis (Led Zeppelin, Royal Blood), Black Harvest comes packaged in stained glass artwork by renowned artist Richard Wells (Doctor Who, Dracula, Ben Wheatley’s In the Earth), and is available in heavyweight vinyl and CD formats. Singer Tom Templar said ‘After reissuing Woodland Rites we were beset by thee 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.’\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A :\u003cbr\u003eThe Harrowing \/ Old Gods \/ Leaders Of The Blind \/ Reaper's Scythe \/ Graveyard Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B :\u003cbr\u003eBlack Harvest \/ Upon The Altar \/ You Bear The Mark \/ Doomsayer \/ Born To A Dying World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022, Svart Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"634\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/4j96jPyNVZI\" title=\"Green Lung - Black Harvest (Full Album 2021)\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Green Lung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54469048205580,"sku":"GreenLung_BlackHarvest_LP","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6969\/5402\/files\/91e-cFkY0BL.jpg?v=1757940248"},{"product_id":"green-lung-woodland-rites-cd","title":"Green Lung - \"Woodland Rites\" CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Lung - Woodland Rites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003eCD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1 Initiation\u003cbr\u003e2 Woodland Rites\u003cbr\u003e3 Let the Devil In\u003cbr\u003e4 The Ritual Tree\u003cbr\u003e5 Templar Dawn\u003cbr\u003e6 Call of the Coven\u003cbr\u003e7 May Queen\u003cbr\u003e8 Into the Wild\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025, Nuclear Blast Records\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Green Lung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54824373289228,"sku":"GreenLung_WoodlandRites_CD","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6969\/5402\/files\/green_lung_woodland_rites_media_cd_nb6858-2_4065629685829_667113_260520120355-1_jpg.webp?v=1780998040"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6969\/5402\/collections\/91e-cFkY0BL.jpg?v=1757940363","url":"https:\/\/shop.soundofliberation.com\/collections\/green-lung.oembed","provider":"Sound of Liberation Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
