Green Lung released their new studio album, This Heathen Land, last week, and the whole things is a melting pot of doom, proto-metal, and stoner sounds. Now the band has revealed the official video for "Hunters In The Sky".
"We're deeply grateful to everyone who has supported the release of This Heathen Land over the past week, whether by listening to the album, picking it up in a record shop or spreading the word online – it's been a joy to see it connect with you all. To celebrate the album release we have one final music video to share with you all." said Green Lung frontman Tom Templar.
"'Hunters In The Sky' was inspired by the Right to Roam movement, which protested the banning of wild camping on Dartmoor last summer. It's a song about standing up to the English aristocracy's attempts to control our common land, and a celebration of the beautiful Dartmoor landscape, from Wistman's Wood to Crockern Tor."
"We'd always wanted to write a song about the Wild Hunt, one of the most dramatic European folkloric motifs, and hopefully we've done it justice. We hope you enjoy it – and huge thanks to Billy Price for directing this and all the other videos for this album, and to Blackthorn Ritualistic Folk for dancing in the video and supplying some incredible folk costumes, especially a truly majestic replica of the Dorset Ooser, who you might see on stage with us soon."
