'One of the most exciting things to have emerged from the metallic underground recently, and here they proved that their cult was on the rise' Kerrang! Top 50 Albums of the Year 2021 https://www.kerrang.com/the-50-best-albums-of-2021 'Britain’s finest folk horror-indebted heavy metallers' The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/jul/30/green-lung-the-folk-horror-heavy-metallers-inspiring-cult-like-support 'Black Harvest is a grandiose 70s revival that would make our metal ancestors proud. With hints of funk and swagger, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath roots, Black Harvest is a deeply layered album that may very well be a modern classic. Green Lung has continued to grow and evolve its sound into something truly spectacular. 10/10' Metal Injection https://metalinjection.net/reviews/green-lung-black-harvest 'Having been denied the opportunity to hit the road in support of their debut record, the Brits have simply cracked on and made another one. Pleasingly, it's even better than its predecessor and seems guaranteed to make a great number of new people go absolutely fucking nuts for this band ... however you wish to label their idiosyncratic but utterly mesmerizing hybrid, Green Lung have struck pure gold here' Blabbermouth https://www.blabbermouth.net/cdreviews/black-harvest/ 'Black Harvest is a great album that finds Green Lung at the top of their game ... its traditional doom sensibilities paired expertly with its more progressive, 70s rock flourishes and folk nods make it wonderfully easy to lose yourself in. Tightly written, with stellar performances across the board from the band' Angry Metal Guy https://www.angrymetalguy.com/green-lung-black-harvest-review/ 'It’s hard to think of Black Harvest as anything other than masterful ... one of 2021’s finest releases' The Obelisk https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2021/07/28/green-lung-black-harvest-review-premiere/ 'Huge, swinging riffs, wailing vocals that split the difference between Ozzy and Dio and really catchy keyboard lines that give a symphonic flair' Revolver https://www.revolvermag.com/music/7-best-new-songs-right-now-62521 'Replete with catchy riffs, tasty organ runs, and Templar’s irresistible vocal lines' Decibel https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2021/06/21/green-lung-heavy-rock/ 'If you have even a passing interest in the occult, metal and some of the best songwriting in years, then you simply can't miss this' Total Rock https://totalrock.com/green-lung-black-harvest/ 'The verdict is indisputable: Green Lung’s latest album is a great piece of music. Combining occult medieval fantasy with super-rich and catchy stoner doom compositions, Black Harvest never disappoints. Damn, paganism sounds so good!' More Fuzz https://morefuzz.net/reviews/green-lung-black-harvest/ 'Black Harvest is a deep record, unveiling new nuances with each listen. While it does knock your socks off initially with the opening trio, there’s so much depth in the middle and the end of the album, it bears repeated listens. Additionally, Green Lung must be applauded for altering their sound as they did, and not simply repeating what had made them blow up so much in the first place. Although very different, Black Harvest has a chance to show up on many of this year’s best-of lists like Woodland Rites before it' The Sleeping Shaman https://www.thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/green-lung-black-harvest/
