I thought "why is my metal cousin playing this bluesy vibe music" and after 10 seconds I realised I was listening to one of the most interesting bands in 5 years or so. Wow, discovery of the last half decade. Thank you so much Z&A! Keep being awesome!

[Gogish]

Hello from Ukraine!
Still listening to your magnificent music!
Still living!

[JavierHernandez-zstv]

Album of the year, i haven't stop listening since came out.

[ijcp]

I really enjoyed this band before this album. Then I became obsessed. Who knew blues with black metal could become so addictive? And this song is an exemplary example of their unique blend between some well-worn musical genres.

[Sebastianthelin]

Bring out the wolves of the north,
The flies of the east,
The birds of the south,
The snakes of the west.

Went to see Opeth live and these guys opened the show. With Mastodon following up.

Zeal & Ardor.
Mastodon.
Opeth.

I should’ve worn the white pants....

[CursonaFun]

When the keyboard hits with the heavy riffs in the *chefs kiss*

[TheIsaiah]

Woah! You guys seriously continue killing it! Loving the new song!

[dikardvondoom]

How am I just now learning about this band? Algorithm is slacking. This is sick. 🤘🤘

[melg]

It's one of my favourite top 5 for this year! I have 23 mins to wait. I'm going somewhere cool to listen to this.

[letingrad]

It came as a spotify recommendation, now i have to play the entire album on my way to work

Who knock my door
It was open the night before
Seal is broken, I can't no more
Lot of folk in this circle of salt

First order of business
First order of business
We sin, don't pray for forgiveness
The night will come again and you'll be the witness
Of the resilient spoils of the weakest

Gather the wolves of the north
The flies of the east
The birds of the south
The snakes of the west

Death to the holy
Death to the holy

Who howl my name?
Who dare utter the word again?
Who can only be washed in rain
When the holy will cry in pain?

First order of business
First order of business
We sin, don't pray for forgiveness
The night will come again and you'll be the witness
Of the resilient spoils of the weakest

The wolves of the north
The flies of the east
The birds of the south
The snakes of the west

Death to the holy
Death to the holy

Tod den Heiligen

First order of business
We sin, don't pray for forgiveness
The night will come again and you'll be the witness
Of the brilliant spoils of the weakest

First order of business
First order of business
We sin, don't pray for forgiveness
The night will come again and you'll be the witness
Of the brilliant spoils of the weakest
Brilliant spoils of the weakest

Death to the holy

[GrimBeard]

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

[dilloncain]

Love this song. They seem kind of heavy on finding a good grind immediately into a song and then just making the entire song two hooks and two chorusii. I feel like I don't appreciate them enough but I also feel like appreciating them more than I do is inventing appreciation so, what I decided to do, is just listen more.
I suggest you do to.

[RedMonkeyTrucking]

Saw them in Nashville open for Mastodon and Opeth. Pretty badass live!!

[sidthames]

The sound of this band is AMAZING.
Death to the Holy, Church Burns, and Götterdamenrung and masterpieces and I've listened to them non stop for a year now.

[Iseemydemons]

This is definitely my album of the year. A masterpiece ✨

[goblin]

Listening to Z&A's new album through my headphones in the supermarket - it's taking a lot of restraint to not headbang and stomp my way through the fresh produce section. 😅

Great video. The scene with the guy on the hill is a perfect portrayal of how it feels to find out the awful truth about something you once believed in.

[Freedum_Fries]

Why Am I so late to the party hearing about this band?!?! holy cow they're great!

[doustphotography]

Still my new favourite song since it came out. This album was so well constructed.
