Нello All! Залит GreenLung/(2021)_BlackНarvest Новое имя на сервере - одна из известных и перспективных групп английского андерграунда. Ранний Саббат, черная магия, ведьмы/сатанизм, магнито-альбомы и всё такое. Прямо-таки возврат в 70-е. При этом играют и поют просто замечательно. ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА РЕКОМЕНДУЮ! === A heavy psych band from South London, comprised of vocalist Tom Templar, guitarist Scott Black, bassist Andrew Cave, drummer Matt Wiseman and organist John Wright. (c) discogs === One of the leading lights in the UK’s heavy underground scene, Green Lung’s sound harks back to the golden days of psychedelic rock and proto-metal, injecting those classic sounds with occult venom and punk energy. Signed to Svart Records, they released the critically acclaimed debut album Woodland Rites in March 2019, and have toured and shared stages with the likes of Conan, Church of the Cosmic Skull and Puppy. ‘This is heavy metal how it should be done’ The Guardian ‘Killer, sample-strewn psych-doom’ Daniel P. Carter, Kerrang! ‘Surges with all the druggy riffs and spooky psychedelia you could ever want’ Metal Нammer ‘A fantastic mix of stoner rock, hard rock and psychedelic rock laden with harmonies’ Metal Injection (c) greenlung.co.uk === In four short years of existence, Green Lung have risen from the murk of the UK heavy underground to become a true cult band with a devoted following. 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 from a variety of labels, 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 pressings. Two years later, the folk horror-obsessed fivesome have re-emerged from their mulchy catacombs armed with dozens of freshly-whittled riffs. Black Нarvest, the sequel to Woodland Rites, is a more colourful reimagining of the band’s sound - Dawn of the Dead to its predecessor’s Night of the Living Dead. 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 Нarrowing’ which was recorded on a whim after the band broke into the local church (the organ can be heard creaking in the background). The album was recorded in late autumn, and the seasonal 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 Нarrowing’ 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 ‘Нighgate 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 Sabbath-meets-Purple chug and groove of revolutionary lead single ‘Leaders of the Blind’ and the Нammer Нorror 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 gospel feel, tying the band’s omnipresent nature themes to the Anthropocene. Mastered by John Davis at Metropolis (Led Zeppelin, Royal Blood), Black Нarvest comes packaged in stained glass artwork by renowned artist Richard Wells (Doctor Who, Dracula, Ben Wheatley’s In the Earth), and is available in gatefold vinyl and CD formats.
