Manuel Gagneux Reflects on Zeal & Ardor’s Worst Show Ever

You ever see a lineup for a show and think “one of these things is not like the other”? Like there are a few bands of a certain genre and the last one is just completely not in the same realm as the others? Turns out, that’s exactly what happened to Swiss avant-garde metal band Zeal & Ardor.

While speaking with the band’s frontman and mastermind Manuel Gagneux, we got to hear about the band’s worst show ever. Without spoiling the whole video, it has to do with a Depeche Mode show in Paris, a huge crowd, and playing on an even bigger stage.

We’d like to give a huge thanks to Manuel Gagneux for taking the time to chat. Be sure to check out Zlea & Ardor’s forthcoming album GREIF when it comes out next Friday, August 23.
