The Worst Advertised Heavy Album of the Year (So Far): ZOZOBRA

Zozobra's Savage Masters apparently comes out next week.


Zozobra, featuring members of Cave In and Old Man Gloom, is apparently releasing their third studio album next Tuesday on April 2. Did you get the memo? I sure didn't...

Perhaps this is due to the group's previous label, Hydra Head Records, going under recently and its switch to the relatively unknown Brutal Panda Records. As far as I can tell, Brutal Panda has really only released limited edition vinyl records that were previously released on other labels.

Below is a stream from Zozobra's Bandcamp of the song "Venom Hell," or you can hear the full album over at LambGoat.

I'm a little bit confused. This album is being marketed as "an album," but with only six songs that are all shorter than three minutes, this is basically an EP. Am I missing something?

Oh well. Whatever you want to call it, it's absolutely the band's finest work since their last album, 2008's Birds of Prey. Check it out!
