For anyone asking who/what/why are The Birds Of The Satan... The question is answered in short order by the album's opening manifesto, the near-10-minute "The Ballad of the Birds of Satan," which progresses from a typically frenetic Hawkins drum salvo into an outright heavy-prog epic concluding with an undeniable boogie groove.
Guest musicians on the eponymous album include Dave Grohl (guitar), Pat Smear (guitar), Drew Hester (percussion), and Rami Jaffee (keyboards), among others.
The Birds Of Satan was produced and engineered by John Lousteau and mixed by Drew Hester.
