On 'This Heathen Land', the band have forged a sound and identity that is entirely their own, while maintaining the Sabbathian heaviness and addictive songcraft which made their previous albums so beloved in the metal underground. From the cover art to the vinyl inserts and lyrical themes, 'This Heathen Land' is a painstakingly-researched and executed heavy metal love letter to the folkloric landscape of the UK.
“Perhaps unsurprisingly, I’ve had the classic Reader’s Digest book 'Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain' by my bedside since childhood” says Templar. “With this album I wanted to conjure the experience of reading that book in sonic form - to take listeners on a journey into the weird world of British folklore, into the woods and over the mountains and onto the moors, and to inspire them to see the magic that’s still out there, if you use a little imagination.”
'This Heathen Land' is the sound Green Lung have forged over their two previous records taken to its logical conclusion. This is reflected in the songwriting, with the album offering their most varied collection of songs yet:
