Zeal & Ardor have shared a new video for their current single – “Golden Liar,” the fifth off their upcoming self-titled album. Pre-orders are live now at hte link below. The release is due out on February 11th, 2022, via MVKA. The 14-track album was recorded by Marc Obrist and frontman Manuel Gagneux at Hutch Sounds and mixed & mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio. The band is currently on tour with Mastodon and Opeth in North America. Watch the video now for “Golden Liar!”
Manuel Gagneux says, “’Golden Liar’ 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.”
Video director Max Carlo Kohal comments, “While listening to this blast of a song, I was always happy that it put images in my head. It inspired the whole process of creating this music video — from the story to locations, from camera work to the editing room. And after hearing the song roughly 300 times, I still can’t wait to listen to it again!”
