Originally released in 2008 via Hydra Head Records, 'Bird of Prey' marked the second full-length from Zozobra, the project of the late Caleb Scofield (Cave In, Old Man Gloom). Named after the towering effigy burned each year in Santa Fe, the band channeled this ritual into music that balanced destruction and release. The record captured Scofield’s raw vocal ferocity alongside intricate layers of guitar and bass, creating a dense yet dynamic soundscape. Backed by Aaron Harris (Isis) on drums—who also recorded and mixed the album—the record tightened its rhythmic backbone while pushing deeper into experimental sludge and post-metal terrain.

Across its runtime, 'Bird of Prey' delivered relentless heaviness, interwoven with moments of melodic clarity that only heightened its intensity. Scofield’s voice shifted from a commanding roar to spectral harmonies, giving the songs both weight and atmosphere. The riffs churned with seismic force, yet shimmered with unexpected flourishes, revealing the breadth of Zozobra’s vision. More than just a follow-up to 'Harmonic Tremors', this record cemented the project as a vital extension of Scofield’s artistry—feral, unrelenting, but always marked by nuance. 'Bird of Prey' remains a powerful testament to his enduring musical legacy.
