    I was "aware" of this band, then saw them open for Mastodon & Opeth, and OMG - such a HUGE sound. The place went crazy for them.

    Yes Dude, great recommendation! Z&A are a very unique band. The first quote I ever read from the band was “what if American slaves had embraced Satan instead of Jesus” , and since I love a good alternate reality story, I was instantly hooked. Come on Down from their first album is one of my favorites! Stay Metal! 😈😈

      wasnt he on 4chan and asked what genres he should combine for a joke/ fun project and then this crazy good band came out of that weird idea hahaha. I love artists experimenting so mich and fusing stuff together that normally doesn't match, the entire blackgaze genre is kind of opposites mixed into beautiful sound (especially the band violet cold they mixed so much stuff together even hardstyle in a black metal song lol), same with ghostemane doing dark phonk/hip hop and then mixing noise, black metal, industrial, electronic, modern trap, some sad acoustic stuff and other genres into one unique sound that no one else did before on his last album. If you have more suggestions of weird genre mixing artists let me know please.

      @@thex6992 Sort of, it was more like he asked what he should combine with Black Metal and someone said as a black man he should stick to black music. But instead of black they used a bunch of slurs.

    You should check out "Death to the Holy" and "Church Burns" by them. Those are my favorites and really have that dark gritty, almost southern vibe.

    Ou yes. Another one I adore ^^ I wish I had more time for UA-cam at the moment. Your channel is awesome!
    Manuel is a great musician and he does music in basically every genre, always striving to do something new and exiting. And so he asked the internet which genres they would like him to combine in a 30minute song writing challenge. This mix came up [Black Metal and nig*** music / Gospel] and it sounded so great he thought: Let's take this a step further. He got a band together and they instantly wrote killer music :) It started mainly by combing slave songs with Black Metal but their latest album took some further influences. It's honestly such a wild ride! I would love to recommend Devil is Fine for the next reaction to go completely 'back to the roots' and then maybe Death to the Holy from their latest album - you won't EVER get that song out of your head [that entire album is one very long ear worm but that song in particular: Love it!].

    Great band, i love the concept around their album. Black slaves turning away from christianity and embracing satanism as a way of finding freedom. Nicely thought by Manuel Gagneux (if i remember well). I love Death to the holy, Gotterdammerung, Devil is Fine, Gravedigger's chant and Come on down ! (sorry for my bad english ^^)

    Yes the albums are epic and in a class of their own.
    Manuel is a multitalented artist, so the band and music has a very cohesive vibe and narrative.
    The music should be considered as audio theatre, which the music videos reinforce well.

    Z&A (Switzerland/USA) are off the Hook in their live shows. 3 singers and that chanting with the riffage. The band started out of a 4chan (or reddit) discussion. Manuel was looking for inspiration on a new project and asked a question: "What would be the wildest combination of different musical genres." The ideology behind this is that: What if African American's instead of turning in to christianity, had seek solace from Satan, what would those gospels sound like.
    Excellent songs to check out:
    Göttedammerung (Rammstein vibes)
    Death to the Holy
    Devil is Fine
    Church Burns
    Blood in The River
    Run

    The singer's mother is African American and his father is Swiss. The band brings in the old African American spirituals and black metal, which is a cool combination. I've loved Z&A for awhile now.

    If you want some more serious stuff from them, i really suggest you the wake of a nation EP. Personally, i found it very powerful, maybe it's a bit of a punch in the belly, but it leaves you with a stark determination to struggle to help get this world rid from injustices.

    A very interesting concept band formed after asking 4chan for suggestions on blending genres.
    Being 4chan the responses were often questionable, however the response of "Ni**er music and black metal" was taken on the chin as a challenge, so Manuel came up with a back story for the theme.
    When you are slaves of Christians, why would you turn to their God who is complicit in your slavery ?
    The new religion comes with it's own bad guy so it would seem "the enemy of your enemy, is your friend", and so naturally they side with the Devil.
