Our Take

Swiss-American musician Manuel Gagneux might have just created the ultimate genre-bending masterpiece with ZEAL & ARDOR's debut album, "Devil Is Fine." This fusion of black metal and slave spirituals is as unique as it is mesmerising, challenging the listener to delve into the darkest corners of their mind while also getting their head banging.

Gagneux's haunting vocals effortlessly shift from chilling screams to soulful crooning, creating an eerie atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire album. The juxtaposition of heavy guitar riffs and gospel-inspired melodies shouldn't work, but somehow, it does - and it works brilliantly.

Tracks like "Come on Down" and "Blood in the River" showcase Gagneux's ability to seamlessly blend disparate genres, creating a sound that is truly innovative and fresh. The use of field recordings and samples further adds to the album's haunting and immersive quality, making it a truly unforgettable listening experience.

"Devil Is Fine" is not for the faint of heart - it's dark, intense, and unapologetically unique. But for those willing to take the plunge into ZEAL & ARDOR's twisted musical world, the rewards are plentiful. This album is a game-changer, showcasing Gagneux as a visionary artist with a bright future ahead.
