Zeal & Ardor have unveiled the new song “to my ilk,” the first single from the avant-metal band’s upcoming album, Greif, set for release on August 23rd.
Coming in at a brief two-and-a-half minutes, “to my ilk” is a mellow tune by Zeal & Ardor standards. The melodic track never gets into heavy territory, as singer-guitarist Manuel Gagneux delivers a reserved vocal performance throughout.
Overall, Greif has 14 tracks, with “to my ilk” serving as the closing song. Regarding the track, “Gagneux states, “It has another level of emotion, and it came out just the way I imagined.”
Greif will mark Zeal & Ardor’s fourth album overall, and the follow-up to 2022’s self-titled effort. Since forming roughly a decade ago, the band has earned critical acclaim with its unique blend of extreme metal with traditional slave spirituals.

The gripping new Broadway rendition of Blake Edwards‘ 1962 film Days of Wine and Roses wastes no time delving into the destructive impact of alcoholism on the marriage of characters Kirsten and Joe Clay.
Directed by Michael Greif, the production is infused with heartache and hangovers and is well worth the discomfort it causes in one’s seat.
After twenty-one years in the making, this rendition of the classic tale stars Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. The songbook, music and lyrics by Adam Guettel, are composed of haunting minor keys and an overtone of darkness that is rarely seen in Broadway’s traditional spectacles. The script and songs feature a significant amount of operatic-style singing and speaking that establishes a melancholic tone.
The story follows Joe (Brian D’Arcy James), a Korean War veteran turned PR dynamo, who exudes mid-century machismo and meets Kirsten (Kelli O’Hara) at a work event. In the beginning,...

Sixty-two years after the release of the film “Days of Wine and Roses,” the Oscar-winning movie by writer J.P. Miller and director Blake Edwards, a musical adaptation has opened on Broadway with a score by Adam Guettel. The story of two characters brought together and torn asunder by alcohol stars Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James in the roles played in the movie by Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon. The production opened at Studio 54 on Jan. 28.
In addition to reuniting Guettel and O’Hara, who collaborated on “The Light in the Piazza,” the librettist Craig Lucas from that musical contributed the book for this new venture. The ensemble cast includes Tabitha Lawing and Byron Jennings in pivotal roles under the helm of director Michael Greif.
Theatre critics were largely positive about this new Guettel musical. It earns a Critic’s Pick from Laura Collins-Hughes (New York Times), who praises the “superb” performances,...

After two and a half years as a public entity, Endeavor is on the verge of going private again.
While nothing has been finalized, most observers agree that privatization is the most likely endgame following Endeavor Group’s announcement that it’s evaluating “strategic alternatives” for its assets, which include the WME talent agency and various live events businesses.
“By announcing that Endeavor was exploring its strategic alternatives, Ari was throwing in the towel,” says Lloyd Greif, an investment banker and CEO of Los Angeles-based firm Greif & Co. “From all appearances, Ari’s un-ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange and dropping the curtain — for now — as a public company.”
It might be humbling but not exactly a shocking development for Endeavor, which has struggled to convince Wall Street that its holdings can translate into shareholder value greater than the sum of its parts.
