Green Lung Share Black Magick Radio from New Album Necropolitan
London band Green Lung released a new single, ‚Black Magick Radio‘, taken from their album Necropolitan, due September 11, 2026. The song traces the history of occult rock and namechecks bands such as Lucifer’s Friend and Black Widow. It also nods to London landmarks: the Soho cafe Le Macabre and the Mayfair cult The Process Church of the Final Judgement.
The band call the track „Our love letter to occult rock itself“. Billy Howard Price directed the video, where the song’s occult power leaves a model suburban family helpless.
Necropolitan contains nine tracks and celebrates the occult lore and heavy music scene of London. During release week the band will sign vinyl and CDs at selected record stores, with details on greenlung.co.uk.
