Ardor is a female fronted archetypal alternative/metal band hailing from Columbus, Ohio. Founded by guitarist Brian Gerbetz (formerly of the band 'Lateral Fold') in mid- 2008, Ardor has quickly surpassed the expectations of the Mid-West metal scene and abroad. Working with widely reknown producer Steve Dwyer (of the accredited bands Taproot/OnceOver), Ardor has been leaking tracks prior to their debut self-titled release due out in mid 2010. Already making waves with their originally unfamiliar yet undeniably epic sound & gaining the respect of thousands of avid metal listeners, Ardor has been working hard to give the media and the fans an experience unlike any other.
