Necropolitan is receiving an enthusiastic early response too. The interesting part is not simply its retro-metal credentials: the arrangements layer Hammond-style organ colours, Mellotron, and melodic harmonies around the riffs.
Its gothic-London concept gives the album a strong identity of its own, connecting haunted Underground trains, pirate radio, and urban technological greed to the band’s occult-rock language.
Green Lung therefore sound less like a nostalgia exercise than a band using classic heavy-metal tools to build a sharply contemporary metal world.
