@@tavaresraven238 just from reading it it seems like a theme for a god killer. One whom surpasses and succeeds an old god. The old gods are dead long live the new gods I guess and the fire they bring
@@Dr.lumina well isnt there only one God? I read you say gods.. Which ones have there been that are dead? Just was wondering what the song meant.thanks for responding.
I'm gonna assume you subscribe to one the Abrahamic faiths. The song is thematic. Not intended for literal interpretation. Say you have a story of a kickass god Slayer this song would thematically fit said story. Like say the game outriders it deals with concepts such as the line between humanity and God and how close man can become a God if not entirely become one through cosmic power ECT ECT stories
It’s a song about breaking from slavery, from those at its bottom. Many Slavers were justified by their Christian faith. This song is a vengeful inversion of that faith to liberate them.
I think you're reading too much into it. It's chain gang/spiritual/black metal. Quite niche. It's not sending a message. It's doing its thing, mixing genres.
By the way, it was Christian Abolitionists who fought against slavery and ended it in the West. Kinda like how it could be said that "atheists" killed more people in the 1900s than any century before (Communists and Nazis, opposing religion and killing and torturing more than 200,000,000 religious people, and even into today), but yet most atheists today just want to leave people alone and be left alone. Anyway, flex on, king.
They were at Sonic Temple this weekend. I never heard of them before. And this song was being played as we were coming in. They absolutely kill it live. Fucking incredible, glad I was able to catch them.
Some what omnious story about this one. I attended myself to the mental institute due to severe flashbacks that made me fear everyone, every single person, friend or foe, my body them all the same, my brain did not. This was the first song on random that I heard on spotify. It helped me with anger issues I didn't even recognize. It lead me to the way of recovery. Which I will always be in dept for all of you. I am more alive and more well than I have ever been. Who dares to come in to where I'm standing? The rude stares just as empty as you are Although not everybody died and gone to heaven, child
I listened to this album on Spotify and when the recording came, I thought - is that Aleister Crowley..? Or does simply every old-sounding recording sound like AC reciting the Enochian spells to me because I used to listen to that one song that sampled it? So I thought, where better to find out the truth than on YT, the beacon of intellectualism in a dark world? Seems like I wasn't wrong.
I saw you this week end at Hellfest. WOW MY GOD, YOU ARE SERIOUS KILLERS. The only ones (with Kadavar) with A FUCKING INCREDIBLE GROOVE. Let's do simple : I Love YOU.
Can someone please explain to me what this song is saying..whats the meaning..it sounds like an old soulful chant...please help me understand what im playing too loud for the neighbors
It’s a song about breaking from slavery, from those at its bottom. Many Slavers were justified by their Christian faith. This song is a vengeful inversion of that faith to liberate them.
So far this song and Devil is Fine are the greatest songs, fucking love the blend of prison blues and black metal, you guys have a unique concept, also your music should be at least a soundtrack to the serie Lucifer, now and then also great soundtracks, I can't wait for a new album! Stay original guys! Maybe you can add some voodoo elements to it too, maybe a song about the voodoo queen for example, a friend introduced me to your music, since then still love it!
I don't really think they were going for prison blues, but slave spirituals instead. Then again the historical context behind both aren't too far removed from each other.
Saw the show in Madison with Baroness and Deafheaven. Zeal & Ardor was the highlight of that show! Killer sound, and infinitely better live. So glad i made a point to catch tje opening band!

holy fucking shit i heard this for the first time two years ago, i was neck deep into black metal but I didn't listen to a lot of blues music. these days I'm listening to more and more vintage blues, and came back to this. it gets better each time I listen to it.
The older (demo?) version of this tune was so much better imho.... Had more power. Can't seem to find it on youtube anymore... Anyone got the 2016 self-recorded(?) version of the album? Or am I just misremembering and it was the exact same mastering and everything?
Whenever I hear this song I think of Spawn and how well it fits his character. Like man I swear I’d love to see him on the big screen whipping demon and angel ass with this song in the background

For all followers of Fortitude who loved psycho mutant Sheriff Dan Anderssen (this plays at end of S3E1). Too bad season 3 was too short and too shit. Would have loved to see more of Dan.
Blues was the "devil's music" of the past. Metal is the "devil's music" of today. Bravo to this concept of mixing the two! Bloody brilliant!
Metal evolved directly out of blues believe it or not)
@Pixel Penguin There's no way Satan wants to listen to pop music
@Pixel Penguin no. Metal is the devil's music. And Twin Temple. Hail satan.
@@hakkenarsk all music can be devil's music. There is no single genre. Put some satanic lyrics on a classical symphony and it becomes devil's music.
metal is pretty much fast blues. this just brings it full circle.

Sustenance and joy to them that revolve about us

I have been a metal fan for 25 years and this is one of the the most amazing fusions I have ever heard fuck yeah yall
Zeal and ardor needs to be more known throughout the world. This is amazing
I quite concur with the lyrics, I must say. Absolutely marvelous music as well, for that matter.
Thanks "Outriders" for introducing me to this.
Very true

Yes!
Now I have to look up Outriders! 😂
Same story
This is what I like to call Blackened Blues, BRILLIANT!!!!
Genius
Dark blue metal
This isn’t blues per se, it is actually the predecessor to that genre, slave spirituals.
@@elsalmon_ dark gospel for a black mass
It's not blues mixed with metal. It's "negro spirituals" (far older than blues) mixed with metal (which itself derives from blues!).
It’s a song about breaking from slavery, from those at its bottom. Many Slavers were justified by their Christian faith. This song is a vengeful inversion of that faith to liberate them.
