Our Take

Prepare to have your musical world turned upside down with Zeal & Ardor's latest offering, "Stranger Fruit." Combining elements of black metal and African-American spirituals, this album is a genre-bending masterpiece that will leave you speechless.

From the opening track, "Intro," it's clear that Zeal & Ardor are not afraid to push boundaries and challenge listeners' preconceptions. The hauntingly beautiful melodies, coupled with frontman Manuel Gagneux's powerful vocals, create a truly unique listening experience that is both exhilarating and thought-provoking.

Tracks like "Gravedigger's Chant" and "Fire of Motion" showcase the band's incredible musical prowess, with blistering guitar riffs and thunderous drums that will have you headbanging in no time. But it's not all about the heavy riffs – songs like "Row Row" and "Built on Ashes" bring a more stripped-back, acoustic sound that showcases the band's versatility.

Gagneux's lyrics, which touch on themes of race, religion, and rebellion, are both poignant and politically charged, adding an extra layer of depth to an already complex album. "Don't You Dare" is a standout track, with its powerful message of defiance and resistance against societal norms.

Overall, "Stranger Fruit" is a triumph of musical innovation and artistic expression. Zeal & Ardor have once again proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Don't sleep on this album – it's an absolute must-listen for anyone who appreciates boundary-pushing music.
