Green Lung – Necropolitan Line (ALBUM)

Green Lung‘s fourth album, Necropolitan, is out today, and the London occult-rock band’s blend of vintage riffs and ghost-story theatrics is pulling in new listeners fast.

Since forming in 2017, Green Lung have carved out a niche at the crossroads of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Iron Maiden, wrapping their heavy riffs in British folklore and occult history. That mix of classic hard rock muscle and horror-tinged storytelling has made them one of the more distinctive bands working in stoner and doom metal today, and Necropolitan leans further into both sides of that identity.

Among the album’s standouts is “Necropolitan Line,” a galloping, high-tempo track inspired by London’s real 19th century Necropolis Railway, which once carried the dead out of the city. Guitarist Scott Black drives the song with a riff built for headbanging, while Hammond organ duels with the guitar in a way that recalls vintage Deep Purple. Vocalist Tom Templar delivers the story with theatrical urgency, and the whole thing barrels forward with barely a pause for breath.

The trending attention around Green Lung right now comes directly from Necropolitan’s release, recorded at Rockfield Studios with producer Tom Dalgety and rolled out alongside in-store signing events across the UK this week. The band is following the album with a run of live dates later this year, and songs like “Necropolitan Line” are exactly the sort built to translate into a huge live moment.

MusicPorta says: “Necropolitan Line” is a masterclass in controlled chaos, with Scott Black’s riffing doing the heavy lifting and Wright’s organ work adding a theatrical flourish that few current rock bands even attempt. Tom Templar’s vocals hold their own against all that noise, giving the song a genuine sense of story and stakes rather than just volume.
