“Woodland Rites” is an extremely promising debut after the band established their sound with the 2019 EP “Free The Witch” and their second album, “Black Harvest,” is out Oct. It is slow, thick, and heavy, especially on tracks like “Templar Dawn” and “The Ritual Tree.” Guitarist Scott Black is absolutely the star of the show, even with the other instruments being played competently and the haunting Ozzy Osbourne inspired vocals provided by vocalist Tom Templar. The guitar in this album is what I would describe as “sludgy.” It feels like you are wading through a musical tar pit in the best way possible. The penultimate track “May Queen” calls upon the spirits of Led Zeppelin for its sound, and is a slow and emotional piece. The second half of the album is much slower than its start, with an organ becoming a noticeable part of the backing instrumentals during track six, “Call of the Coven,” which is admittedly a rather high tempo piece. The title track, “Woodland Rites,” perfectly fits the album’s art, a circle of creatures and occultists dancing around the figure of Baphomet. The riffs in many of these songs are equally demonic in nature, with many of them elevating the songs from above average to spectacular.

“Templar Dawn,” one of the album’s stand out tracks, is from the perspective of former crusaders-turned-demons clawing their way back to the land of the living. The lyrics call on demons, old gods, and the spirits of the land. Evoking demons and pagan gods throughout its 45 minute eight track run, the album is perfect for this most spooky of seasons.Įach of the eight tracks evokes classic black metal trappings, very obviously taking inspiration from Black Sabbath’s earlier work. While metal has had numerous mutations and subgenres since the misty past of the 1960s, that scene is still alive and well today, as evidenced by the classic metal sounds of Green Lung’s debut album “Woodland Rites,” released in October of 2020. The bands that defined the genre’s sound, like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath were all born out of the London heavy underground scene of the 1960s and 70s. The song made a comeback via tiktok and social media edits tributing Chelsea FC winning the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League.The United Kingdom has long been a bastion for heavy metal. The song won a MuchMusic Video Award for International Video of the Year – Group (2014) and an iHeartRadio Music Award for Alternative Rock Song of the Year (2014). It has also been a moderate commercial success worldwide, charting in several countries. Within two years of its release, more than 4.1 million copies were sold in the United States, making it the eighth most downloaded song in rock history. It is Imagine Dragons' second song to stay more than one year on the Hot 100 (61 weeks). It spent twelve weeks in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, four of which were spent at its number six peak. The song was a commercial success, becoming their second top ten single after "Radioactive".

The lyrics portray the protagonist warning the significant other of his or her flaws.
