ZEAL & ARDOR DROP “KILONOVA” VIDEO – WATCH
NEW ALBUM GREIF OUT NOW
AUTUMN 2024 EURO TOUR ON NOW, NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF NOVEMBER 23 IN PHILADELPHIA
LONDON HEADLINE SHOW ON SEPTEMBER 22
ZEAL & ARDOR isn’t just a band; it’s a living and breathing entity.
Like any other sentient being, it consumes, evolves, and transforms from one season to the next. It has only sharpened its claws, lengthened its teeth, and steeled its nerves over the years, growing more undeniable and unpredictable in the process.
The band released their fourth album, the self-produced GREIF, on August 23. Get it here.
Today, the band has dropped the cinematic video for “Kilonova,” which plays out like a short film against the backdrop of the song’s tension.
Watch it here.
“A ‘Kilonova’ is when two supernovas collide,” band leader Manguel Gagneux states. “It’s the type of grandeur I’m after.”
Now that you’ve had a moment to ponder and chew on that sentiment…
The band will tour Europe, supporting Heilung along with their own headline club shows, before hitting North America with a headline tour that kicks off November 23 in Philadelphia and runs through December 18 in Dallas. Gaerea and Zetra will be North American support.
ZEAL & ARDOR return to the UK for one headline show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on September 22nd, 2024.

Rather than stagnating, basking in global acclaim garnered from three previous albums – Devil Is Fine[2017], Stranger Fruit [2018] and Zeal & Ardor [2022] – Manuel opted to shake things up for GREIF. Instead of creatively flying solo again, this time he welcomed his bandmates into the studio, featuring three voices for the first time and emboldening the sound from every angle. As such, the musicians – Tiziano Volante [guitar], Marc Obrist [vocals], Denis Wagner [vocals], Lukas Kurmann [bass], and Marco Von Allmen [drums] – spread their wings alongside him. Decamping to Marc’s studio Hutch Sounds in Switzerland, the record came to life in just five months. GREIF is out now.
