Green Lung Sign to Svart Records for Next Album; Announce Headlining Tour & Reissues

green lung

Well I’ll be damned. Don’t get me wrong, Green Lung have been putting the pieces together business-wise — management, booking, etc. — while at the same time releasing what was the best debut of 2019 in the form of Woodland Rites (review here) on Kozmik Artifactz, also one of the best records of last year overall, but to get snagged by Svart so early in their career seems like all the more an endorsement for what they’ve done to this point. The Finnish imprint will stand behind reissues of Woodland Rites, as well as the preceding 2018 Free the Witch EP (review here), and maybe even the 2017 single, Green Man Rising (review here), I’m not sure.

Either way, kudos to the band. I don’t know where they’re at in terms of the trajectory for their next long-player, i.e., whether it’ll be this year, next year or what, but they made this happen through the quality of their work on every level and there’s no taking that away from them. Potential meets momentum. Their next album could be something really special.

Their social media post follows. Tour dates and all. They start at Desertfest London and include Esbjerg Fuzztival. Worth noting they’ve also been booked for Høstsabbat in Oslo this Fall, so they may well be back out then. Maybe with a new record?

GREEN LUNG – LABEL/TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT

We’re so excited to finally announce that we’ve signed with Svart Records for our next album, and also to reissue our discography so far. They’re the undisputed masters of releasing doom and occult rock, from Pentagram (official) and Reverend Bizarre to Hexvessel and Jess and the Ancient Ones, and it’s been especially great working with Mat McNerney, who really understands everything from an artist’s perspective.

We can’t wait to get WOODLAND RITES back on wax (preorder up soon!), and introduce these songs to new audiences on our first ever headline tour in May – especially alongside our favourite ghouls in Juniper Grave.
