Green Lung release new studio album “Necropolitan” & visualizer for ‘Dance To The Grave’

The long-awaited fourth album from Green Lung is finally upon us. The masters of occult riff-craft have officially released “Necropolitan”, which is out now via Nuclear Blast Records. A huge step forward in songwriting and vision, “Necropolitan” is the album Green Lung have been threatening to make since their inception.

As well as a portrait of the triumph and power of death and nature over the dreams and dominion of humankind, “Necropolitan” is a grand celebration of the folklore, occult and heavy music scene of the band’s birthplace, the city of London. The album title derives from the seven garden cemeteries (necropoli) circling the city, all built in the Victorian era.

Green Lung stated: 
“As the summer dies, the shadows start to move… Necropolitan is finally here. Thanks to everyone who has preordered, supported or spread the word about this album over the past few months – we are eternally grateful, and can’t wait for you to finally hear it. To celebrate the release, we commissioned Joseph Brett at Jackdaw Films to animate Richard Wells’s art and create our own danse macabre. Dance to the grave!’”

Today, the band have also revealed a visualiser for ‘Dance to the Grave’, the record’s first track. The song delivers a memento mori to the current alliance between far-right politics and tech in the face of the climate crisis, with giant, swinging riffs and a chant-along mid-section.
