Green Lung releases fourth studio album Necropolitan
The UK-based doom rock band Green Lung has released their fourth studio album, titled Necropolitan, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album features nine tracks and draws thematic inspiration from London's occult history and Victorian-era cemeteries.
Recorded in January at Rockfield Studios in Wales, the production was handled by Tom Dalgety. The band utilized live takes for drums, bass, and rhythm guitars to achieve a raw sound. The album includes guest vocals from Riley Pinkerton of Castle Rat on the track 'Alostrael (Be My Babalon)'.
Critical reception for the album has been mixed. Some reviewers have praised the record as a triumph of hook-heavy songwriting and a strong addition to the band's discography, noting its Gothic flourish and professional production. Conversely, other critics have described the work as lacking the self-awareness of their previous releases, characterizing some tracks as unoriginal or poorly produced.
