Manuel of ZEAL & ARDOR On Racism, How He Started Singing, First Instrument, New Album & More

[@salvatorecorrao7497]

I love this man and this band even more now. Z&A going to put out the craziest piece of 2022 i feel it

[@Owlpunk]

I recently discovered Z&A because of GREIF's release, and I don't care what Melon thinks, any album containing eternal bangers like Götterdämmerung absolutely proves you right, lmao.

[@MrWaynealex]

Their upcoming album is probably going to be AOTY for me. The singles have been simply AMAZING

[@georgeb8781]

So here we are, and I agree. One of the absolute AOTY. You called it.

[@bloodeater]

manual is a true artist and he knows you can't give that thought too much power because it kills the art, he is just hitting his stride and not worried about the ego. Love Z&A and birdmask, amazing shit so glad I found it

[@worldoffood123]

You can tell he's a smart guy and has put a lot of thought into this stuff. Exactly the type of person that deserves success because he didn't sacrifice his vision to get there.

[@mihagrobler6810]

Zeal&Ardor are the best and unique thing I have heard in years.

[@dwelleronthethreshold]

This guy is awesome! Love how he talks about his process

[@wezlydog]

I just discovered these guys today and listened to their new album! It kicks ass!

[@leonardomattarmonteiro2824]

BLACK METAL as a genre never ceases to surprise & break boundaries. Who'd imagine that a unique Band would meld the BLACK (literally) tradition of the soul& blues with METAL'S most revolutionary&blasphemous trend. All hail ZEAL & ARDOR ✊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🇧🇷🏴🖤

Z&A kicks ass and I can't wait for the new album

[@dominonine]

Went to a Zeal and Ardor show this year after seeing them open for Meshuggah and it's the best show I've ever been to, the new album is AOTY and these guys are fantastic.

[@NewHappyMe]

This is the most interesting band working today.

[@sealogic4552]

@@geniuserisloci2027 something about typing your opinions instead of saying them out loud inspires people to turn everything to the nines. you cant just dislike a work, it has to be evil, degenerate, molesting your kids, etc. The music is incredible though, almost makes the weirdos bearable.

Sounds like someone is confusing racism & general prejudice?

too much emphasis on singing, they should do post-black or blackgaze

[@Hideousspawn13]

Oh god no. Plenty of bands are doing that. Z&A have their own unique sound, largely in part to the singing

[@MetalGunNut]

Gotta agree with the previous commentator, the singing is what really gives zeal and ardor their unique sound that is so refreshing! Don’t get me wrong, I love the high pitch vocals, but there are tons of great bands that do that, so it’s nice to see a band that experiments out!

[@coryleblanc]

@@Hideousspawn13 heard of TRNA or Sannhet?

Yea TRNA are pretty cool. Not familiar with Sannhet
