Foo Fighters might be in the thick of recording their next album, but drummer Taylor Hawkins has still found time to launch a new side-project.

The Birds of Satan actually features the same lineup as Hawkins’ covers band Chevy Metal, featuring Mick Murphy on guitar and Wiley Hodgen on bass. However, instead of playing covers of Sabbath and Van Halen, The Birds of Satan will release a full-length album of prog-rock originals, due out April 15th through Shanabelle Records.



The album was recorded in less than a week and features guest appearances from Hawkins’ Foo Fighters bandmates Dave Grohl and Pat Smear, percussionist Drew Hester, and keyboardist Rami Jaffee.
