Green Lung - Hijack The Airwaves With New Single 'Black Magick Radio'

Green Lung have released a video for their new single, 'Black Magick Radio', from their highly anticipated new album "Necropolitan".

In the outlaw spirit of 1960s pirate radio, Green Lung have hijacked the airwaves to broadcast their own distinctive form of sonic propaganda. Turning the dial left and tuning into vintage influences from Lucifer’s Friend to Black Widow, new single 'Black Magick Radio' traces the history of occult rock itself, as well as namechecking London proto-goth landmarks such as Le Macabre (a Soho cafe where you could ‘drink your coffee off a coffin’) and The Process Church of the Final Judgement (a pre-Manson cult based in Mayfair). A celebration of magickal rock through the ages and around the world, this new transmission will charm initiates and ipsissimi alike.

'Black Magick Radio' is taken from Green Lung's upcoming studio record, Necropolitan, due out on Friday September 11th 2026. A monumental portrait of the power of nature over the dreams and dominion of humankind, Necropolitan is also a grand celebration of the occult lore and heavy music scene of the band’s birthplace, the city of London.

Green Lung stated:

‘’Black Magick Radio’ is our love letter to occult rock itself, and a promise to spread its gospel as widely as we possibly can. All together now... Eko Eko Azarak, Eko Eko Zomelak..."

A video directed by Billy Howard Price premieres today, featuring a model suburban family rendered helpless in the radius of the song’s occult power.

With producer Tom Dalgety (Opeth, Ghost) at the helm, this time handling everything from recording to mixing, the band decamped to Rockfield Studios in January 2026, following in the muddy footprints of some of their key inspirations, from Black Sabbath to Queen to Judas Priest. Sonically, they were set on capturing their megalithic live sound more accurately than ever - stripping back their usual dense, multilayered arrangements to their rawest, leanest form and recording much of the album live to capture their Sabbathian heaviness, frenzied Hammonds and haunting Mellotrons as faithfully as possible.

The result is an album that combines the soaring hookiness of This Heathen Land with an uncompromising rawness and heaviness, and takes the band’s distinctive brand of sonic storytelling to macabre new heights.

If, a year after Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning show and the death of Ozzy Osbourne, you had any doubts about the future of traditional British metal, Necropolitan will lay them to rest. Here is a band taking the torch from the heavy metal godfathers and running with it, bursting with all the musicianship and storytelling flair that has kept the genre’s flame burning for a half-century, and using it to temper a lyrical and sonic world that is entirely their own.

A cult band in every sense of the word, Green Lung emerged from London’s heavy rock scene with self-released debut EP Free the Witch (2018).

Drawing on a host of peculiarly British musical influences, from doomy hard rock to pastoral prog and psych to the Hammer Horror theatrics of the NWOBHM, the band have swiftly risen to the forefront of the UK metal scene.

Lyrically celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of Britain, they conjure the wild and witchy spirit of their forebears for a new generation.

Green Lung have released three critically acclaimed albums, Woodland Rites (2019), Black Harvest (2021) and This Heathen Land (2023). They have toured internationally with Clutch, Opeth and Unto Others, and performed on festival stages from Roadburn to Download. Their latest album This Heathen Land landed at #1 on the UK’s Official Rock and Metal Album Chart.
