Avant-garde metal enthusiasts Zeal & Ardor have released two new singles, "I Can't Breathe" and "Vigil". The tracks will be part of the band's upcoming EP, Wake Of A Nation, which will be out on October 23rd.

Mastermind Manuel Gagneux commented: "Wake Of A Nation's intent and context should be obvious. I like to revel in ambiguity and in room for interpretation. This is not the case here. These 6 songs are a knee jerk reaction to what has happened to my fellow people in the last months. Originally I was set to record an album scheduled to come out next year. As these songs were written due to the horrendous events that instilled them I decided to release them as soon as possible. Using the rich heritage and culture as a part of my musical identity it felt like cowardice to sit by and continue with my routine as if nothing happened.

"This record is for Michael Brown, Eric Garner, George Floyd and the countless untold and nameless killed. It is for the brave souls willing to take a stand and ready to risk their own wellbeing so that others may have theirs intact. All revenues from sales and streaming of 'I Can't Breathe' will be donated. Stay vigilant; stay loud"
