Our Take

Ah, ZEAL & ARDOR, the band that blends the unlikely genres of black metal and spirituals. Their latest offering, "Stranger Fruit", is a rollercoaster of sonic ecstasy that will leave you questioning your musical beliefs.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you can feel the raw energy pulsating through your veins. The combination of Manuel Gagneux's haunting vocals and the thunderous black metal instrumentation creates a cacophony of sound that is as exhilarating as it is unexpected.

But it's not all chaos and destruction. Tracks like "Gravedigger's Chant" and "Row Row" showcase the band's ability to infuse soulful melodies with brutal heaviness, creating a juxtaposition that is both jarring and mesmerising.

There's a sense of urgency and desperation that permeates throughout the album, as if the band is on a mission to awaken something deep within your soul. The lyrics touch on themes of identity, oppression, and the struggle for inner peace, making "Stranger Fruit" a truly introspective listening experience.

In conclusion, ZEAL & ARDOR have once again proven themselves to be true innovators in the world of heavy music. "Stranger Fruit" is a bold and audacious statement that demands to be heard, and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on anyone brave enough to take the journey.
