Today, Zeal & Ardor release “Devil Is Fine x Carpenter Brut” via MVKA, a defining moment in the band’s history reimagined with brutal precision as Carpenter Brut unleashes his trademark nightmare fuel on their most iconic anthem. It’s a collision of two of extreme music’s most fearless minds, pushing the song into territory it has never touched before. “Devil Is Fine” is the title track of Zeal & Ardor’s breakthrough 2016 record, the release that first fused black metal aggression with the rhythms and history of African American spirituals and work songs, introducing Manuel Gagneux’s project to a global audience. Carpenter Brut, the French producer whose synth driven, horror soaked sound has become a genre unto itself, has now taken the track apart and rebuilt it. Manuel Gagneux of Zeal & Ardor says, “Imagine if one of the most capable electronic musicians out there remixed a song of ours. Imagine if that would result in a track that might eclipse the original. Imagine if you could listen to such a thing right now. We give you Devil Is Fine x Carpenter Brut.” Carpenter Brut adds, “Zeal & Ardor have such a distinctive sound so it was a real pleasure to take ‘Devil Is Fine’ into my own world while keeping the spirit of the original.“ Watch a visualiser for the track here.
