Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) A great addition to an already impeccable list of works.

𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡 Guaranteed Zeal quality with such stylistic compositions and tender but fierce sounds. I can not get enough of fresh and genius musical approach of Mr. Gagneux. Genre-bending awesomeness as always. Build a statue for this man. Favorite track: Firewake.

Der Ohlsen "The quality stuff you expect from this project. Short and sweet."

about

Zeal & Ardor is an experimental/black metal project by Swiss/American artist Manuel Gagneux. In 2013, Gagneux asked users of 4chan for suggestions of disparate genres he should try splicing together. One response was to mix black metal with old American slave songs, an idea that inspired Gagneux to launch Zeal & Ardor and continues to drive the project today. Initially intended only as a one-off recording, the project grew legs, first with a full-length debut album, Devil Is Fine - which streamed in the millions - then a spot at The Netherlands’ prestigious Roadburn festival in 2017. In 2018, the band released their second album Stranger Fruit, which found an audience far beyond the world of metal: The Guardian newspaper called it "extraordinary and brilliant," Metal Hammer applauded its "sheer musical brilliance," and the UK's largest free newspaper Metro declared Stranger Fruit their #2 Album of the Year. In October 2020, amidst a provocative and stimulating 18-month profound period of reflection, the band quietly shared the striking 6-track EP, Wake Of A Nation. The band’sintense self-titled third album was released in February 2022. Today, Zeal & Ardor are an avant-garde metal force, hugely respected for their artistic fearlessness and off-the-wall creativity in a scene so often unwilling to break its own chains

Gagneux says "’Firewake’ was written a while ago, but didn't thematically fit on the last record. I really like the atmosphere of it and am happy to have found a proper home for the track. The bilingual aspect of it mirrors the high contrast in energy found in it. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed recording it!"

A truly incredible album. Lovely production combining atmospheric beauty and dark brutality. One of the best black metal albums in history, without a doubt. Golden362

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

False Light

This is a trip, plain and simple. You choose which type (LSD, or what not) but it is TRIPPY !!! Saxophone ? wow at first I was like WTH, but then, and then again, I really come to like this. One of those albums I needed to listen to many time, as it grows. It was not love at first hearing, for sure. sachavonkarl74
