Greta Van Fleet Announce New Album & Release Lead Single 'Meeting The Master'

Last week, Greta Van Fleet put out some teasers and announced details of their highly-anticipated third album, Starcatcher.

The follow-up to 2021’s The Battle At Garden’s Gate will arrive on July 21, with lead single "Meeting The Master" out now. The band explained the new single in a statement, "Meeting The Master peers into an esoteric world heeded by the word of a wise teacher." "Sung in the voice of a devout believer, and eventual group exclamation, the song details the love these fervent followers have for their teacher and their firm belief in his vision. It’s an exotic spiritual journey. A dark comedy that inevitably ends in chaos."

The single also comes with a brand new music video, which sees the band wandering a desert environment. Of Starcatcher as a whole, guitarist Jake Kizska said of the creative process: “We didn’t really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that happened was very instinctual. If anything, the record is our perspective, and sums up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.” The LP is set to feature 10 tracks.

In other Greta Van Fleet news, the band postponed tour dates in November 2022 due to lead singer Josh Kiszka rupturing his eardrum. They will be opening some shows on Metallica's latest world tour.
