The buzz went straight to the major labels looking for their next rock sensation, but true to form Green Lung picked from the soil instead of the sky by signing to Finnish indie Svart Records, who reissued Woodland Rites in deluxe form last year.
Green Lung’s premiere Black Harvest comes in the form of lead single “Leaders of the Blind,” a weighty grooved lay replete catchy riffs, tasty organ runs, and Templar’s irresistible vocal lines.
The world events of the past few years definitely had a bearing on the lyrical content for Black Harvest, from the pandemic to the climate crisis, and this song was borne out of frustration with the media and political classes in Britain, and their increasingly Surkov-esque manipulation of the general public.
