ZEAL & ARDOR TO RELEASE LIVE IN LONDON ON MARCH 22

LIVE RECORDING FEATURES FOUR NEW TRACKS

BAND SHARES LIVE VERSION OF “BAPHOMET” — LISTEN

Black metal blues alchemists Zeal & Ardor have released “Baphomet.” It’s the first single from their forthcoming live album, Live In London, due out March 22 via MVKA/Radicallis.

Listen here or at this location: https://lnk.to/Baphomet.

The 22-track album includes four previously unreleased songs.

The album is the entire recording of the band’s headline show at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, which took place in December 2017. It will be available digitally, on CD, and as a Double White 180g vinyl.

The new songs included are “We Never Fall,” “Hold Your Head Low,” “Cut Me,” and the aforementioned “Baphomet.”

Barring those tracks, the set list was devised from the band’s two existing albums: the debut Devil Is Fine and 2018’s follow-up Stranger Fruit.

Z&A’s music has been critically acclaimed across both releases, with praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Alternative PressKerrang!Metal HammerNoiseyPitchforkLoudwireConsequence of SoundUpsetThe Onion AV Club, and many more.

Frontman Manuel Gagneux comments, “We recorded our London show last December. Since we’re really proud of our performance, we are releasing the entire show consisting of our entire catalogue of songs. Mixing duties crushed by Kurt Ballou and Alan Douches mastered these 80 minutes into cohesion. We are really happy with how this turned out and can’t wait to unleash it upon you all.”

Zeal & Ardor, who completed a headline tour of the U.S. last fall, will return to North America this winter and spring. The band will support Baroness and Deafheaven. The trek kicks off March 8 and runs through April 12, with several stops in Canada. All dates are below.
