Lyrics as a Weapon with Manuel Gagneux of Zeal & Ardor Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Manuel Gagneux of Zeal & Ardor & I have a conversation about how he coped with 2020/2021, his 1st beers, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, the new Zeal & Ardor album, how he has been filling the void, a Zeal & Ardor Brew & his hangover cure.

Throughout this conversation, Manuel enjoyed a glass of Henri Badoux's "Aigle les Murailles" Red Wine while I enjoyed Birra Bar à Bières Maison 's "Dupond" the 7% Belgian Dubbel. It poured out with a gorgeous nut brown veil, smashed candied fruits on the nose & ripped a sweet caramel finish.

This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast.
