Some great stuff here. I have only heard Savage Masters. I might have to check out the rest o their stuff. Zozobra Bird of Prey 3. Review Summary: Coming in like a flash flood Bird of Prey is angry, violent and over very quickly. Rank: 0 for Bird of Prey started out under the band moniker Heatseekers but I can only assume it fell back to Zozobra to avoid confusion and another band introduction. Scofield continues here somewhat where he left off with Harmonic Tremors but with a slightly different stylistic feel.
One instant change you can hear is the less mechanical beats and a livelier feeling from behind the kit. Santos Montano was so precise and unwavering in his drum style that people thought he was a drum machine; this time Aaron Harris takes drumming duties and fleshes out a more aggressive feel.
The bass carries all the rhythmic duties with the guitar usually providing a spacey vibe or mimicking the bass line. Now while this record is good fun it feels less creative than the previous album which had more bombastic riffs and directional changes, more unpredictable would be a better description.
There are no songs like Levitate which perfectly blended his metal leanings with less cathartic musical work. In Jet Streams is one of the few songs that any clean vocals are heard as well as being one of the tracks that really stand out.
Laser Eyes would be about 5 minutes if the rehash of Big Needles was cut out from the start of it. It just seems that the idea was to make a fun album and not stress about it too much. Tweet Recent reviews by this author. Erlen Meyer Erlen Meyer. Mouth Of The Architect Dawning. Breach Kollapse.

Savage Masters by Zozobra. This record is incredible. RIP Caleb johnlllll. Christmas by Old Man Gloom. The only Christmas music I'll ever need. Thank you. NO by Old Man Gloom.
Loved this band for a long time and happy they are still creating together. They seem like they'd be cool dudes to hang with. Cast Down by Born of Plagues. A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck.

These were used a lot more on the previous full-length, something that I miss quite a bit.
Hopefully future recordings see a return to this, as the songs become a bit one-sided with Scofield only screaming and they could use with some complexity. The album concludes with "Laser Eyes," a seven-minute hodge-podge of sounds, mixing drone-metal, experimental noise, and the aggressive metallic sounds we've come to expect from Zozobra.
My only qualm is that the song ends rather abruptly, they could have easily elongated it by another three minutes and I would have kept listening. Bird of Prey is another solid performance from Scofield, proving that the previous venture was much more than just a one-off collaboration.
It is a bit less varied than its predecessor, but perhaps on the last album there was more collaboration that this full-length - just a theory. Anyone into gritty noise-metal should pick this up. Zozobra is a tantalizing idea for a band.
