ZEAL & ARDOR - Blood In The River

[@killersushi88]

Blues was the "devil's music" of the past. Metal is the "devil's music" of today. Bravo to this concept of mixing the two! Bloody brilliant!

[@bitethebullettooth]

Metal evolved directly out of blues believe it or not)

[@theghosty99]

@Pixel Penguin There's no way Satan wants to listen to pop music

[@hakkenarsk]

@Pixel Penguin no. Metal is the devil's music. And Twin Temple. Hail satan.

[@FatManJackson]

@@hakkenarsk all music can be devil's music. There is no single genre. Put some satanic lyrics on a classical symphony and it becomes devil's music.

[@LordOfNihil]

metal is pretty much fast blues. this just brings it full circle.

[@angliscmight7168]

It’s a song about breaking from slavery, from those at its bottom. Many Slavers were justified by their Christian faith. This song is a vengeful inversion of that faith to liberate them.

[@Virikel]

I think you're reading too much into it. It's chain gang/spiritual/black metal. Quite niche. It's not sending a message. It's doing its thing, mixing genres.

[@Virikel]

By the way, it was Christian Abolitionists who fought against slavery and ended it in the West. Kinda like how it could be said that "atheists" killed more people in the 1900s than any century before (Communists and Nazis, opposing religion and killing and torturing more than 200,000,000 religious people, and even into today), but yet most atheists today just want to leave people alone and be left alone. Anyway, flex on, king.

[@tavaresraven238]

Thankyou for putting up the lyrics..can u explain to me what does it mean please??

[@Dr.lumina]

@@tavaresraven238 just from reading it it seems like a theme for a god killer. One whom surpasses and succeeds an old god. The old gods are dead long live the new gods I guess and the fire they bring

[@tavaresraven238]

@@Dr.lumina well isnt there only one God? I read you say gods.. Which ones have there been that are dead? Just was wondering what the song meant.thanks for responding.

[@Dr.lumina]

I'm gonna assume you subscribe to one the Abrahamic faiths. The song is thematic. Not intended for literal interpretation. Say you have a story of a kickass god Slayer this song would thematically fit said story. Like say the game outriders it deals with concepts such as the line between humanity and God and how close man can become a God if not entirely become one through cosmic power ECT ECT stories

It's not blues mixed with metal. It's "negro spirituals" (far older than blues) mixed with metal (which itself derives from blues!).

[@lassea]

Some what omnious story about this one. I attended myself to the mental institute due to severe flashbacks that made me fear everyone, every single person, friend or foe, my body them all the same, my brain did not. This was the first song on random that I heard on spotify. It helped me with anger issues I didn't even recognize. It lead me to the way of recovery. Which I will always be in dept for all of you. I am more alive and more well than I have ever been. Who dares to come in to where I'm standing? The rude stares just as empty as you are Although not everybody died and gone to heaven, child

[@SaraMommyof3]

Im glad you found recovery, hope you’re doing better now xxxxx

I listened to this album on Spotify and when the recording came, I thought - is that Aleister Crowley..? Or does simply every old-sounding recording sound like AC reciting the Enochian spells to me because I used to listen to that one song that sampled it? So I thought, where better to find out the truth than on YT, the beacon of intellectualism in a dark world? Seems like I wasn't wrong.

So far this song and Devil is Fine are the greatest songs, fucking love the blend of prison blues and black metal, you guys have a unique concept, also your music should be at least a soundtrack to the serie Lucifer, now and then also great soundtracks, I can't wait for a new album! Stay original guys! Maybe you can add some voodoo elements to it too, maybe a song about the voodoo queen for example, a friend introduced me to your music, since then still love it!

[@WynnofThule]

I don't really think they were going for prison blues, but slave spirituals instead. Then again the historical context behind both aren't too far removed from each other.
