Zeal and Ardor - Experimental/Post Metal?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm not really sure how to classify this band. It's such a fusion of genres, but I guess experimental/post metal would be close. It's a really progressive fusion of genres.  
Bio: Zeal and Ardor is an avant-garde metal musical project formed in 2014 by Manuel Gagneux, a Swiss-American musician who had previously created a chamber pop project called Birdmask. Gagneux started Zeal and Ardor in response to two messages left to him on 4chan by two different users. One of these users suggested that he fuse "black metal", while another suggested "nigger music"; in response, he started Zeal and Ardor, which features elements of both black metal and Negro spirituals.
