13 bands you can’t miss at RADAR 2025
Next month, RADAR Festival will bring a banging bill to Manchester for three days of music and bants. The line-up is stacked, but here’s a baker’s dozen to have on your radar…
Zeal & Ardor’s upcoming self-titled album is just around the corner now – listen to final single Church Burns now.
Zeal & Ardor have shared the final song from next month's self-titled third album.
Entitled Church Burns – "There’s a church. Guess what? It burns. Church Burns," teases Manuel Gagneux – the track follows recent singles Golden Liar, Götterdämmerung, Bow and Run, and gives another taste of what to expect from the brilliant Swiss extremists.
Discussing the LP as a whole, Manuel previously shared, "With the self-titled record, we have arrived at where I imagined this project should sound like. It’s the longest we’ve worked on a single record and I believe it shows.
"The most important thing for an album of ours to do is transport you instantly into our mood, our world. Even though this might not be the one you might expect from us, this record certainly delivers on that front. We had time to hone in to what we think makes us interesting and what sounds we would like to explore through this we have found our home.
"Home is burning.
"Welcome home."
