I'm so here for this. Reminds me of Dax Riggs on the southern/alt country side. On the Black Metal side, merging his vocal style with BM is so refreshing. Like Myrkur, it's a breath of fresh air when BM needed it most. Following these guys for sure.
I've been a fan of Zeal & Ardor for a few years but never really liked this song that much. I saw them in Toronto earlier this month and it's now one of my favourites. Watching this band live is something else 🤘
I'm reading it as the man being the personification of grief, with his threatening nature representing the potential to let oneself be completely absorbed by grief to the point of self-destruction. The act of digging the grave brings the boy closer to acceptance, and planting the grave marker finally allows him to deal with the passing of his dead loved one.
Perhaps. Or it could be interpreted literally, as a short form theatrical horror. Kids are trying to hide the body of a man they killed (why, we don’t know) and they work in a state of frenzy knowing the law is closing in on them (personified by the hangman/sheriff/man in black).
Honestly today was my first time ever hearing of this INCREDIBLE BAND. My wife downloaded several of there songs today via iTunes and I am MIND BLOWN by their Talent. Mad Respect and Props to their Talent.
Sam Tallarico this music should be in the game called The Hunt: Showdown. It fits the narrative “watch yourself” fits well because you’re a bounty hunter, along with 11 others, trying to kill zombies and extract the bounty, but at the same time you have other hunters who just want to kill you and take the bounties for themselves.

I remember the few who came out in support of Zeal and Ardor in the beginning and now to see more and more people come out in support something unique is just awesome.
So emotional. A much more vibrant mix with alot more going on. Just listened with my partner and we already love it. Devil Is Fine was brilliant it was in my top 10 of last year and it already this will be in 2018s top 10. Cant wait for the whole thing. 🤘🤘
Y'all. This is just The Intro to the album. "Where's all the Metuhl tho?" shut up. It's just the Intro. Let the man do his Damn art. You KNOW the shit's gonna be fucking Amazing. They got 'til June to get us all foaming. Let em start that simmer. It'll heat up, y'all. Just be excited that we get a Whole New Album from these cats!!! AND Holy Fuck wasn't this VIDEO fucking awesome even if it was just crickets fucking we were listening to instead of that soulful ass tension building intro that's gonna get us in the mood to die and praise fucking lucifer w/e every time we spin the album! So bloody stoked. Y'all are the shit for real.
I've just recently found out about these guys. I don't know how i missed them for so long ! Holy shit I think they're my new favorite. I can't believehow they make all of these musical elements work together so well. Who would have thought?!
I absolutely enjoyed this approach! But of course you can't please everybody. Some people will want more metal influences and others will perhaps prefer this approach. I just hope that this project continues to offer great art that foremost pleases Manuel. As well as me and his fans!
I love this. I love the soul and this mix!!! The drums sound great. I love the processing done on them and the environment they create with how spacey they are
This is the second single of the new album Stranger Fruit, out 8 June 2018. The previous single was released on the channel. I was first called "I", but it is now called "Intro".
Liking the new direction much much more than previous Z&A, the less black and more heavy metal combines much more smoothly with the sounds they like to combine metal with
Just discovered Manuel’s project earlier his morning, and I finished the discography a minute or two ago. Started in reverse though, with this masterpiece first.
![Tetrarch - I'm Not Right [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
These guys are SO good live. I'd argue they're better live than in the studio. Very talented chaps.
Just saw them at Midgardsblot, I would agree wholeheartedly that they're just amazing live!
Going to see them tonight!
I just discovered Zeal & Ardor today. I am extremely impressed at the scope of the music. Little something for everyone.
lol, i feel you. i discovered them on Sunday. mind blown. i have heard the entire discography like 10x plus.
Devil is Fine was great, but this is on another level. fucking amazing album. I would love to hear some sax in the next album
indeed
@Travis Thomas Has he said this and how does he feel about trumpets and fiddles?
I'm quite proud that Manuel is from my hometown, he speaks my own dialect perfectly, and yet masters this black music chant accent very well.
Uh, his mom is a Black American. It's not an affectation; there's a cultural context for it.
@@darrylehm True, probably he learnt it from her.

just found this band ... they need more ... push hard because you have something we haven't heard and it's excellent

Tank you, I will use this for my benefit
I love that interpretation. Thank you

This comment caused me love this video.

this stuff makes me feel like I'm in some occult horror story in the deep south. Love it.

@@Dirtwhistlegristle I was just thinking that
@@Dirtwhistlegristle What's that game like, btw? I was thinking about getting it some day.
i know your comment is a year old but check out Old Gods of Appalachia if that's your jam.
if the devil did make a deal, wouldnt that make quite the twist,

Biggedy bump for the lyrics homie
... wär n film wert! ... sehr gut gedrehtes video, prima stimmung und prima schauspieler!
I remember the few who came out in support of Zeal and Ardor in the beginning and now to see more and more people come out in support something unique is just awesome.
Can't wait !!! I love this new Zeal and Ardor sound. Very good evolution, blues still there.
It's a song that reminds me how beautiful music is.
Zeal & Ardor please release all your albums on cassette tape
I will always play this before every Hunt Showdown match.
Do you still play it and between now and then how many funerals did you attend?
One of my fav tracks for years now❤
This is exactly what rock needs, its heavy as fuck, its deep, dead serios, concept based, highly enganging and it just invented its own way!
Just heard these guys on the radio, a new band for my playlist..
As amazing as this song is, I think I'm even more impressed with the acting in the video!
This band is light years ahead of metal, of music in general. They evolved 🖤
This is absolutely beautiful. I loved the first Zeal and Ardor album. This one will be amazing as well.
Cool !!!!!!
Just make a movie of this already, looks too damn good.
So emotional. A much more vibrant mix with alot more going on. Just listened with my partner and we already love it. Devil Is Fine was brilliant it was in my top 10 of last year and it already this will be in 2018s top 10. Cant wait for the whole thing. 🤘🤘
I really like this band. The vocals are amazing.
These guys are on a whole nother level.
I can't stop watching this video and I absolutely cannot wait for the new album
Y'all. This is just The Intro to the album.
"Where's all the Metuhl tho?" shut up. It's just the Intro.
Let the man do his Damn art. You KNOW the shit's gonna be fucking Amazing.
They got 'til June to get us all foaming. Let em start that simmer. It'll heat up, y'all. Just be excited that we get a Whole New Album from these cats!!!
AND Holy Fuck wasn't this VIDEO fucking awesome even if it was just crickets fucking we were listening to instead of that soulful ass tension building intro that's gonna get us in the mood to die and praise fucking lucifer w/e every time we spin the album!
So bloody stoked.
Y'all are the shit for real.
Just when I thought no fresh-sounding music could be made... Amazing.
YYYYYYAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS Man I love this band. Was so pleasantly surprised by them with the first release, love where they are taking things.
Just discovered these guys tonight. WOW! Love every song I have heard!
I've just recently found out about these guys. I don't know how i missed them for so long !
Holy shit I think they're my new favorite. I can't believehow they make all of these musical elements work together so well.
Who would have thought?!
Brilliant.
I would watch a movie based on this - I love this video. It raises so many questions about what has led up to this, who these people are and so on.
I absolutely enjoyed this approach! But of course you can't please everybody. Some people will want more metal influences and others will perhaps prefer this approach. I just hope that this project continues to offer great art that foremost pleases Manuel. As well as me and his fans!
The idea of Kurt Ballou mixing this makes me smile.
Be did?!
@@inalingthedead yeah, the album was mixed by him.
@@monkehitstring wow!
With the new album dropping in June I think Zeal & Ardor will be the soundtrack to my summer.
Don’t ever change! 🤘
I love this. I love the soul and this mix!!! The drums sound great. I love the processing done on them and the environment they create with how spacey they are
As usual full support from me guys!
Lookin for new bands to listen and finding Warga's comment.. I'm not shocked :D
To ja już po polsku - no Warga prowadził wywiad z Zeal & Ardor więc... :v
dzięki Tobie, poznałem typasa muze - thnx!
Macieeeeejji Dąbroooowskiiiiiii
@@przemyslawpietruch8152 szukam tego wywiadu i szukam no znaleźć nie mogę
I feel like this would sound amazing with a soloist and a choir backing them
I love his voice!
This music video is incredible. Fantastic song too. Very accessible sound
One of my all time fav bands, Been with these guys since their first album, love this one as well
DOPE !
Has to be the best album of 2018!
yeah, them and behemoth
One of my favorites!
In love 💚💜🖤
Beautiful. Can't wait for the new album!
Exactly what needed to be done to make this project great: better production. It’s going to be a masterpiece
This is hardly better production. Vocals are mastered WAY too loud. 😐👎🏻 Otherwise it's good new music.
Absolut.
Simply amazing!!! Made my day. Thank you Z&A for the music! ❤
Chilling, Incredible, Soulful, Weighty and Passionate. Thank you for writing and sharing this song Zeal and Ardor.
This is the second single of the new album Stranger Fruit, out 8 June 2018. The previous single was released on the channel. I was first called "I", but it is now called "Intro".
Damn fine music!
Watzefack... geiler Scheisz! Dank und Liebe gehen raus :)
I have no words for it, you did it again Manuel.
I might have just found my favorite music blend of all time! Love this!!!!
I’m loving this ! Amazing voice!
sure is
When the South meets Black Metal
Beautiful
When a group gives props to African Americans influence on Metal, dare I say it, actually Metal's birth? 💁🏽♀️
@@80smademe😮💨
@@80smademealways gotta make it about blacks huh
This is gonna be in a movie one day and I can’t wait till that happens
Greatest band that no one knows... let’s change that!
Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 please go to Zagreb again!!!! Guys go for it!!!!
Im obsessed
i'm so Lucky/happy That i have seen them live!
ZFG - Just now finding this song, and it has already played at least 10 times on repeat - I raise this glass in appreciation for this one. Well done.
Anyone else get hunt showdown vibes off zeal and ardor?
Liking the new direction much much more than previous Z&A, the less black and more heavy metal combines much more smoothly with the sounds they like to combine metal with
The aesthetic of this videoclip. Is. Amazing. ❤
Just discovered Manuel’s project earlier his morning, and I finished the discography a minute or two ago. Started in reverse though, with this masterpiece first.
What a fucking great song and video. That is all.
So many zeal and ardor songs should be used for trailers
This being released on my birthday makes me so happy
This song is a Masterpiece.
Can't wait for the new album!
This video was bad ASS! I absolutely LOVE you guys.
Can't wait to see these guys live in September - I intend on buying all Merch
The best song in this year!!!❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Great song and great video.
I wish there was a whole movie for this album. Beautifully shot. So haunting. Can’t wait to see where Z & A goes from here.
This song is ridiculously astonishing (in terms of imagery and sound)
Eternal Love.
Claramente en varias partes de la canción dicen: 'Lionel Messi'
Gracias Zeal & Ardor reconociendo al mas grande de todos los tiempos!
Great!! you keep developing the sound we love, greetings from México lml
Yaaaasssss!!!
This gives me life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silt Verses vibes. Such a good band.
