Zeal & Ardor, a band famed for their experimental fusion of genres, breaks new ground with their latest album, ‘GREIF’. Manuel Gagneux, the innovative frontman, invites us into a personal chapter marked by childhood reflections and collective creativity.

When it comes to avant-garde metal, few bands have redefined the boundaries quite like Zeal & Ardor. The band’s latest chapter, ‘GREIF’, showcases a bold exploration into the personal and the communal aspects of music-making.

  • The album ‘GREIF’ interweaves metal with deep personal narratives.
  • Fully integrating his bandmates, Manuel Gagneux democratizes Zeal & Ardor’s creative process.
  • From childhood traditions to introspective lyricism, ‘GREIF’ crafts an expansive sonic experience.
  • The record deftly juggles genres, from haunting melodies to thrashing metal, never confined by a single label.

The essence of ‘GREIF’ is inherently multifaceted, much like the band’s namesake creature, the griffin. Not only does it reflect a nuanced approach to music, merging intense emotional output with delicate sensuality, but it also embodies the band’s commitment to evolution and inclusivity.

Tracks such as ‘Clawing Out’ and ‘Fend You Off’ serve as fierce reminders of the band’s metallic roots, while ‘Solace’ reveals a vulnerability rarely seen in their previous work. And then there’s the playful nod to their influences with tracks like ‘Disease’ and ‘Sugarcoat’, echoing the rock’n’roll swag of Queens of the Stone Age.
