Praised for their fuzz-drenched sound and their dark, occult lyrics. Green Lung’s debut album, Woodland Rites, was released in 2019 to critical acclaim. They have toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, and now come to Thekla on the 26th November 2023.
A cult band in every sense of the word, Green Lung emerged from the heavy rock scene around legendary London boozer The Black Heart with self-released debut EP Free The Witch (2018). Drawing on a host of peculiarly British influences, from proto-metal iconoclasts Black Sabbath and Black Widow to NWOBHM acolytes Angel Witch, Demon and Witchfinder General, the band have swiftly risen to the forefront of the UK metal scene. Wielding megalithic guitar riffs, psyched-out organ squalls and lyrics that celebrate 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 two critically acclaimed albums, Woodland Rites (2019) and Black Harvest (2021), toured internationally with Clutch, and performed on festival stages from Roadburn to Bloodstock. ‘This is heavy metal how it should be done’ – The Guardian.
Their upcoming show at Thekla is sure to be a night of heavy riffs, dark atmosphere, and headbanging. Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most exciting new bands in stoner rock.
