Editorial Reviews

Creative firebrand Manuel Gagneux returns with a brand new Zeal & Ardor album ‘Stranger Fruit’ Mixing blues, gospel, and soul with harsher music has opened up a world of possibilities for Gagneux. Previously creating as a one man solo effort, the immense interest and critical acclaim Zeal & Ardor attracted upon release of debut album Devil Is Fine, has led to the project becoming a fully-fledged, internationally-touring band. After months hidden away, crafting the new songs for Stranger Fruit, Gagneux entered the studio with producer Zebo Adam and mixer Kurt Ballou (Converge, Kvelertak, Nails). While the finished sound is larger and heavier, it is still unmistakably Zeal & Ardor. The diverse yet cohesive nature of the sixteen tracks on Stranger Fruit is designed to encourage the listener to dig a little deeper and find their own meaning in its words. In contrast to first LP Devil Is Fine, these songs are deliberately intended to play off each other both lyrically and musically. While the record seethes with a justifiable rage, its wider-reaching aim is to unify, not divide, and to inspire action, not inertia. Elements of a bleak melancholy are tempered by hope. Superficially, the album tells small isolated stories, but there are also references to the Goetia, Yoruba, and obscure occult literature and history within.

More of What Made "Devil is Fine" So Good
This is an amazing album. All of the aspects that made "Devil is Fine" so good are expanded upon in this album. It's heavier, it's got more occult themes, and it is a great time. The vinyl is pretty cool too. FYI it plays at 45 RPM.

Fantastic album. Something different in this modern age of wash-rinse-repeat music. I also think it's a good step up from the first album, which felt like someone trying to get to grips with the idea of combining these styles. Don't get me wrong - 'Devil is Fine' is still great (especially that title track), it's just that this feels like a more complete ride from start to finish. The limited double purple vinyl is fantastic. The slabs were nice and flat, the gatefold packaging is gorgeous, and the audio profile is fantastic. It's also nice to have the music broken up into 4 pieces like this, so you get a bit of a break here and there - since listening to the whole album in one go can be quite exhausting sometimes. And you want to be alert when you get to the final track, because it's a fantastic closer. Anyway - super immersive album, and a wonderful change from the norm - highly recommended

One of the best albums of 2018. It comes in a very beautiful triple gatefold with the vinyl being a very pretty shade of purple to match the color of the album. I recommend giving this album and artist a listen. This is a must have for any vinyl collector/music connoisseur’s collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bluesy Spiritual and Dark

This record is one of the best things I've heard in a long time. Blending blues, spirituals, with black metal may sound like an absurd idea, but it all comes together to create something very unique and worthy of many spins.

5.0 out of 5 stars An improvement on an already great previous album

Zeal & Ardor here does an even more impressive job of blending spirituals and black metal with a lot less filler than the first album. The vision and focus is much stronger on this one; and it's an incredibly moving album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Album is good, condition is not.
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018

The album is amazing, I highly recommend buying this album. The low rating is for the condition of the tape when I received it. The listing did not say anything about being used but when I got the tape it was obviously used, the case was cracked and had some wear. fortunately the tape works fine and the album is amazing. I would absolutely recommend this album just make sure it is new if you want a new copy.

Zeal & Ardor gehört für mich zu den seltenen Bands, von der man unmittelbar nach dem ersten Song den man gehört hat, am liebsten direkt ein Tattoo haben möchte.
Es ist diese Musik, die sich auf Anhieb so anhört, als wäre sie eigens für einen selbst produziert worden.
Absoluter Wahnsinn!
Gestoßen bin ich auf die Band durch reinen Zufall. Ich war bei Google auf der Suche nach einem Axl und Slash Meme, und fand unter anderem ein Bild, auf dem Slash mit seiner Gitarre auf der Bühne stand wobei er ein T-Shirt mit einem interessanten pentagramartigem Symbol trug. Daneben stand: "Welch Ehre, Slash trägt T-Shirt von Basler Band Zeal & Ardor."
Der Rest ist geschichte...
Das ursprünglich gesuchte Meme fand ich nicht, dafür aber eine neue Lieblingsband.
Zeal & Ardor hat mich richtig weggehauen!
Ich bin nun ende 38, und höre seit meinem 13. Lebensjahr Death Metal, und allgemein Musik der härteren Gangart.
Natürlich ist mit den Jahren mein Geschmack weitaus breitgefächerter geworden, und man hörte irgendwann halt ohne Toleranzgrenze das was einem gefiel.
Gospel und Blues. oder gar Sklavenchöre, gehörten allerdings nicht dazu. So alleingestellt, hat mir solche Musik nie etwas gegeben. Höchstens mal das ein oder andere Lied.
Was Zeal & Ardor, bzw. Mastermind Manuel Gagneux hier jetzt aber zusammengewurschtelt hat, ist einfach nur allerhöchste Güte. Und das, obwohl die Idee Gospel, Blues und Black Metal zu mischen, auch nur aus Zufall entstanden ist, bzw. nichtmal Manuels eigene Idee war (Stichwort: 4chan).
Es ist einfach der Wahnsinn, wie passend das alles umgesetzt ist. Alles hört sich so an, als wenn das genau so gehört, und als wenn es nur eine Frage der Zeit war, bis jemand solch eine Musik fabriziert.
Ähnlich wie Ghost, die vor ca 2 Jahren quasi noch kein Schwein kannte, plötzlich aber jeder für ganz großartig halten will, könnten auch Zeal & Ardor richtig groß werden.
Ich möchte hier aber gar nicht ausufern, oder gar objektiv auf die Musik eingehen.
Meine Rezension bezieht sich auf beide Alben. Wobei ich sagen muss, dass das zweite Album wohl besser ist, weil da alles nochmal viel ausgefeilter ist.
Man muss es einfach selber hören!
Viel Spaß.

Amazing album. I purchased after seeing them live in London. Didn't have enough money for a t-shirt and their album at the event so opted for the shirt. I was surprised that Amazon also offer auto rip on some albums. Bought the CD and got a download for free!

The album is an amazing blend of guitars shredding, screaming and everything else you would expect from a heavy metal album but with a twist. The vocals are sultry and beautiful, there are chants and riffs reminiscent of black slave ancestors, there's blues influence and the lyrics reflecting a dark history (maybe also more relevant today than we would like to believe).

I'm so proud of these guys. I hope there are many more albums to come from them. Oh, and if you haven't seen them live yet make sure you do, you'll be in for a real treat!
