NEW ZOZOBRA TRACK EXCLUSIVE DEBUT! (EX-CAVE IN, OLD MAN GLOOM)

zozobraAt least someone from Cave In is currently doing something with balls. And holy fuck does Zozobra have balls. Zozobra, the sludge/doom/skullcrushing brainchild of Caleb Scofield (also of Old Man Gloom) hasn’t waited long since last year’s Harmonic Tremors to follow up with a new album Bird of Prey, a punishing slab of metal full of fuzzed-out, low-end Isis-like riffs and an unmistakable sense of melody not heard since Cave In’s early work.* No surprise then that Bird of Prey was recorded and mixed by Isis drummer Aaron Harris, who also plays drums on the record.

MetalSucks can exclusively debut (at least for the 2 seconds it takes you steal, seed, and torrent it) the new track “In Jetstreams” from Bird of Prey. Enjoy this sucker.

* I love Cave In’s later work too, for the record, if not moreso. But it’s different, ya hear?

    Great stuff!!! I will never ever understand why bands like this dont get bigger or get more exposure, that is so much better than 99% of the mainstream junk.

    Fuck yes. This is heavy, and done smartly. Can’t wait for full album. And Vince, you’re right: early/later Cave-In are two different beasts that I love for different reasons. I think Perfect Pitch Black bridged the two pretty nicely though.

    Hell yes. I’m usually not a big fan of bands described as sludge/doom, but these guys fucking rock.
