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

At 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.
clouds has balls
Just got the newer Clouds album after seeing them with Torche and Boris – FUCK!
I love this track.
and, yes ,the new Clouds is fuckin’ great.
DAMN! When is this bad boy coming out?!!
I need to go back and listen to Harmonic Tremors again…
[...] whose thundering low-end stoner metal album Bird of Prey dropped a couple of months back (listen to “In Jetstreams” and The Blessing” from their prior album Harmonic Tremors). But the subject matter quickly [...]
