Zeal & Ardor Reveal Slow Burn Single ‘Golden Liar’

Zeal & Ardor may just become your new fav band in 2022 if the singles released from their forthcoming self-titled album are anything to go by!

So far we’ve been treated to the instant hits ‘Erase‘, ‘Bow‘ and ‘Götterdämmerung‘ all of which boast glorious heaviness and growls-a-plenty, but for single #4, we’re slowing things down for ‘Golden Liar‘ – a track full of powerful vocals, pounding drums and stadium rock feels throughout, adding to the intensity of the album’s already produced releases.

On the new song, frontman Manuel Gagneux asserts:

“…is one of the tracks on this record I’m most proud of. Unlike singles released previously from the new album, it’s a slow burn. Rather than using harsh tones to convey heaviness, it uses lyrics and atmosphere to convey weight. It’s both smoke and fire.”

Sit and listen, you’ll appreciate it more and more with every repeated spin! It’s Blues, Gospel and Soul with a touch of heaviness all wrapped up in one.
