Zeal And Ardor will be back in Paris on December 12th at La Cigale for the tour of his latest album, Strange Fruit !
Originally from Switzerland, Manuel Gagneux is the son of an African-American jazz singer and a Swiss chemist.Passionate about metal, he is not cold in the eyes. When a user provokes him on a forum, he did not hesitate to take up a challenge: mix black music and metal. It is thanks to this provocation that this new style was born. Le negro spiritual black metal and we thank very much the little joker at the origin of this joke.
Tracks short report on Zeal And Ardor
In 2016, Zeal And Ardor's first EP was released: Devil is Fine. That's when our ears fell on their music and we were completely possessed. And no exorcist will change that. Manuel Gagneux's music is raw, uncompromising. It is vibrant with the song of slaves reviewed in unholy sauce and it feels good. Not just as a dump, but also as a kind of spiritual music. Because that's ultimately what it's all about.
We had the chance to meet him at the Eurockéennes de Belfort this year and it was a pleasure to be able to exchange with him, despite the fatigue of an intense tour. On stage, the experience was intense and the singer managed to convince many music lovers unaccustomed to the genre.
