Just imagine Tarantinos Django slapping a goat on the stage, while in the background hypnotizing slave songs and shrieking guitars sound. And finally, as the rhythmic, satanic singing, disastrous Norwegian Black Metal makes way for. This absurd mixture, which has already provided all sorts of attention since April 2016, is the work of Zeal & Ardor. The debut album 'Devil Is Fine', which will be released via MVKA Records / Radicalis / Rough Trade on February 24, 2017, deals with the themes typical of Black Metal: rituals, human sacrifices, fire and blood. Zeal & Ardor put blasphemy on the top by wrapping their satanic texts in spiritually appealing slave songs. Quasi Black Metal from the cotton field. Zeal & Ardor is the idea of ??the Swiss-American musician Manuel Gagneux. His thinking is based on an alternative historical development and is based on two considerations: just like the American slaves, the inhabitants of Norway were also Christianized. In the 1990s, however, the Black Metal movement developed as a rebellion against popular monotheism. What would happen if the American slaves had rebelliously reacted in the same way, namely, the turning away from God? Or, quite clearly, how would Satanic slaves sound?
