Thank you for the reaction! Zeal&Ardor is the most underrated band ever, and I'm saying it since their first album, which was phenomenal, imo 🖤 and they're only getting better. Btw, lead singer, Manuel, is insanely gifted - he has written all the tracks on all albums, performed all instruments and vocals on the first one, and everything but the drums on the second one and forward. Mindblowing! Full band performs only live, and they are doing it very, very good. I would suggest Devil is fine or Golden liar for their calmer side and Row Row or Gotterdammerung for the heavier 🖤 hope to see more reactions, you will not be disappointed :)
And then look up the Billie Holiday song Strange Fruit from 1939, which is about slavery and lynchings, (the Z&A album Stranger Fruit is based on that song).
"It has a Southern vibe". It's black metal mixed with Gospel music and Slave Spirituals.
Thank you for them. Brilliant unique band. Please, try Götterdämmerung and Feed the Machine. It slaps as hell.
I can confirm that they sound great live. My 2nd live show ever, actually, saw them Nov 29 2022, still got ze bootlegg.
