Release and Stream New Album, Bird of Prey, Today on Hydra Head!
Beautifully harmonious at times, and at other times sounding like you are in the earthquake of the century. – Punknews.org
Zozobra is a psycho-sonic mind-pyre befitting its name." – Paper Thin Walls
A crushing mix of sampled beats and machine-like riffage, topped with vocals that swing from growls to purrs in a matter of measures. – Alarm Magazine
This is a band that only solidifies the fact that metal is now becoming a genre for the thinking man. – Copper Press
Fast on the seismic heels of last year’s Harmonic Tremors, Zozobra mastermind Caleb Scofield (Cave In/Old Man Gloom) has set off another face-rupturing power-trembler in the North American underground. Bird Of Prey is our man’s second full-length under the Zozobra moniker, a white-hot exploder shot through with snaking melody lines and implacable riffs. From front to back, Scofield’s signature roar is tempered by his own gleaming backup chants; meanwhile, an arsenal of guitars alternately churns and shimmers in the flames of Zozobra’s effigial namesake. Recorded and mixed by Isis drummer Aaron Harris — who also lent his considerable drumming talents to the proceedings — Bird Of Prey is the latest installment in Hydra Head’s Reign Of Awesome 2008. It is the sound of a conquering horde—only in this case, the horde consists of exactly one dude who manages to sound like ten.
