Zeal & Ardor - Don't You Dare - SESSION LIVE

[@leviathandark1824]

it's mind blowing how versatile metal music can be. originality is king... and this band just takes it to a new level.

[@Runny117]

It's a good time to be a metalhead. we get many decades of amazing material and this :D

[@nevermore4633]

i know eh ? how many times have we been told its impossible to create something new.

[@circolodellinconcludenza4369]

It's not just metal that's versatile, it's music itself

[@circolodellinconcludenza4369]

@Vince Williams that's simply not true. The fact that rarely other music genres experiment with metal doesn't mean thst experimentation happens mostly in the metal scene. Animal collective is not a metal band; aphex twins are not a metal band; Ho99o9 are not a metal band; Xiu Xiu are not a metal band; Have a Nice Life are not a metal band; Sun ra was not a metal musician; James Chance and the Contortions were not a metal band; NIN were not a metal band (at least not mainly); and so on. Innovation and experimentation is and has been a big part of music at large. Even in classical music: go listen to some Alan Berg for instance. Music itself is flexible and artistry is deeply tied with the desire of experimenting and trying out new things. Plus, about your first statement, there are quite a few bands that combine metal with other genres, so I don't see your point (Sunn O))), the aforementioned Ho99o9, Boris, even that fucking Poppy girl, etc.)

[@kmiloposada]

You just have read my mind, thx dude.

[@hailmammonmoments7568]

I'm almost 40 and this, right here, makes me feel like I did being blown away by new music as a teenager. 😳

[@patxaran1978]

i felt the same when i discovered this band several years ago.

[@BeregiBalazs]

That is because music is ageless. (I'm 38.)

[@emptywig]

I'm 53 and I feel the same.

[@davebone3599]

Heavy Metal is for old men.

[@Imurai]

@@davebone3599 guess I'm old then :D All metal is awesome!

[@ChevalNektosha]

This is the sublimation of metal .Blues straight to Black metal

[@justinb.b2459]

Blues at its final stage of evolution and it is terrifying abd glorious. This awesome to behold.

[@IntroSpectre6x3]

Final stage? You mean to suggest there is nowhere to go beyond? This is literally as good as blues can ever be? Guess that means I'm quitting music.

[@MrDontsaythezedword]

@@IntroSpectre6x3 I think he means full circle.

[@meagainokay7673]

Music like blues, metal, rock and pop will never die and for that I am grateful. These music genres keep their roots and also keep reinventing themselves.

[@mammon_is_god]

Amen

[@cerealphobe8440]

The anger of the grieving process

[@altagame3375]

Это просто шикарно! Жаль что 5 лет назад не нашел эту группу!!! Авторам огромное спасибо, теперь осталось послушать все релизы!)

[@vladbol]

Blues and Black metal is my favorite genres. This is great symbiosis. Thank you.

[@deluge71]

I saw them open for Mastodon and Opeth last year. Zeal & Ardor was amazing. I did not expect that from an opening band.

[@justink2874]

I saw them pre covid open for baroness... been a top 5 band on my list ever since 🤘❤️🤘

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

The trinity of progressive metal: Mastodon, Opeth, Zeal & Ardor. What a package!

[@Himizu2023]

This is the freshest and most original metal song I've ever heard for recent some years

[@ganondorfchampin]

"To the detractors or the accusers or the people of the other side, I would say that they would make ideal human sacrifices" Such a good quote.

[@landinlangridge4026]

The actual quote is "from the detractors and the accusers and the people of the other side"

[@ldt8904]

Landin Langridge haha you also got wrong dude

[@mammon_is_god]

Continue walking the left hand path

[@jesusantispray]

HOOOLY FUCK I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THESE GUYS. His fucking black metal vocals have me grinning from ear to ear. such amazing song progression and a truly ingenius blend of styles.

[@ComaLies225]

when that guitar comes in as Manuel sings "Mornin' might never come 'round these parts" always pumps me up. Can't wait to hear more of Zeal & Ardor in the near future!

[@nikital5913]

For me it is a pure discovery. My listening pilgrimage in music started around 12 years ago with plain black metal and evolved into much more complicated progressive rock and electronic music. Each new band that has guts to combine elements from diametrically opposite genres deserves big respect. Keep it up, keep experimenting!

[@juliakaczmarczyk2134]

Honestly ive never been quite that into any sort of heavier music, but this band absolutely blew my mind. Every single time i listen to one of their songs, i get fricking goosebumps, its crazy.

[@alexandermotley8739]

Eminem, Andy Samberg, and Eric Andre kick ass.

[@maximef.994]

One year later, this comment made my day x'D

My new fave band!! Thank you Cory Taylor for mentioning them in a recent interview :-) my ears are saying YAY!

[@mikemchaney925]

Annastasia666 X what interview?? I gotta see it!

[@JumboDubby]

Someone help. I can't stop listening to this brilliant song. I don't even think I want to stop. So never mind.

[@Asthamedos]

Don't you dare look away son.

[@SaulHFTF]

The heavy bits shouldn't fit but they just do, I love it.

[@nicksims9659]

His voice (and look) is like Buzz from The Melvins had a resentful bastard child with Ihsahn from Emperor, fucking amazing! Great band!

[@tussscia]

yes.great.but....but, buzz about 2000000000000000000000000000000 times better:):):)

[@tussscia]

and sorry for my english:)

[@Dexusaz]

No attentioN Well, that's not a fair comparision

[@HalfStepTides]

@@tussscia Melvins is king, but Buzz is approaching tone-deaf with his melodic vox and always has been lol.

[@zerotm09876]

Oh man Ihsahn is definitely what ui thought of when I first listened to them. That both started as a one man band is also interesting

[@bichorock]

These guys are Underrated, this is amazing.

[@ameliabrittain158]

Blackened Blues. Fucking love it.

[@good4gaby]

Blues is black, just saying ❤️

[@good4gaby]

I am talking to a 2 year old comment lol 😂 and that’s ok. Victimless crime. Win win.

[@panzram31614]

The bassist rocking the Swans "Filth" shirt. Good taste.

[@karimbabir4342]

I JUST discovered this band while listening to Liquid Metal on SiriusXM. I am blown away by the blues and black metal fusion! Incredible!

[@Lumporz]

Best thing 4chan ever inspired.

[@shlomogoldnagel5385]

Wait what?

[@TheKiofKi]

Is this legit? Can't imagine that shithole 4chan actually doing something good. However, Zeal and Ardor is beyond great.

[@jonathanosterman7530]

I suppose if you mixed those two it would just be called... black metal.

[@charx225]

its from 4chan's music board, called /mu/, not the places like /b/ or /pol/ which are more known for being shitholes.

[@cuckerinokripperino4216]

its a great mix

[@sinnertrain7405]

I bought Devil is Fine today, after streaming the album. I wondered what the underground buzz was and now I know what's what. I love innovation in music and the combining of styles and elements. This is modern music!

[@toothpastehombre]

This grabs my souls, on multiple levels, and I love it

[@Haegi]

This is the single most interesting band on this planet

[@amentastar7637]

Nice music...thank God for the blues boy or we would never would have this vibration..

[@noeticjustice1535]

I didn't think I would ever find myself saying this, but... This song is better than anything on the album!

[@cosritii6431]

Well, just FYI, but Stranger Fruit came in as #1 on my best of metal list of 2018 :) (Truly amazing!)

Original comment, nice...

[@qproductionslasvegas123]

AGREE 100% WITH HailMammon's comments. I just discovered this bad and OMG they are AMAZING! Just when I had Heavy Metal and Hard Rock for dead I come across Zeal & Ardor. Kudos!!!

[@Awsomo666]

I need more!! 25 mins wasn't enough for the sheer awesomeness that this band has to offer. Once your ear is trained to this band it's like crack. I'm scared that if I play the album too much I'll get riff deafness. Bring more out Z&A you guys fucking rock 🤘🤘

[@jeffdpnerd4]

I love this so much I’m tearing man like holy shit this is what I’ve been looking for after being in a music slump feeling like I’m hearing the same bs this shit comes out and I have found the light 💡

[@jiminator182]

i wish i could be in athens to see you guys . greetings from Thessaloniki Greece

[@clam_boy]

Thessaloniki? At least you can go see Hail Spirit Noir, from your own town, there next month!

[@darthkonstantinoz]

αν γινόταν θεσσαλονίκη με το ζόρι θα μάζευε 100 άτομα. οι black metalάδες στη θεσσαλονίκη είμαστε μετρημένοι στα δάκτυλα, τουλάχιστον όσοι ακούμε τα πιο πειραματικά του χώρου.

[@jiminator182]

ισχυει αυτο , βασικα ουτε 50 δεν θα πηγεναν , απο τη στιγμη που δεν ειναι μια απο τις κλασικες blackmetal μπαντες (η δεν παιζουν το κλασικο black), ο γνησιος ελληναρας μεταλας θα το σνομπαρει μεχρι να μην υπαρχει αυριο

[@Southparker42]

[@Todesnuss]

I've randomly stumbled upon this project on youtube close to a year ago and back then the whole EP was available. Didn't expect it to actually blow up like that since it was pretty obscure.

Great music, great vocals. Greetings from Poland. STAY HEAVY.

The loudest band I've ever seen. When they get into the blast beat they create a sonic breeze which made my shorts flap

[@bunnywilde7273]

How did I find this? I don't know, but it's fuckin' great.

[@Nihilore]

Why isn't this on the album?

[@jaredarbizu6373]

The album was released a while ago, sometime in 2016, so this song wasn't recorded yet. Devil is Fine was re-released this year when Z&A got signed to a label. As for my opinion, I wish this was perhaps a bonus track on the re-release, but maybe it'll make it to the next Z&A album.

[@Nihilore]

yep, i've since done some research and discovered that the album that just came out was a re-release. cheers!

[@cuckerinokripperino4216]
