Iron Monkey

English sludge/doom band noted for a raw, acidic sound and a harsh, guttural vocal delivery. The group ceased activity around 1999; frontman Johnny (John) Morrow died in 2002.

DeBaser reviews note the band as from Albion/Nottingham, praise albums Iron Monkey and Our Problem, and document the 2002 release Ruined By Idiots (a live/compilation) released after Johnny Morrow's 2002 death. Reviews also mention producers or figures such as Andy Sneppo, Matt Bayles and Steve Albini in discussion of the band's sound.

DeBaser hosts a handful of vivid, often graphic reviews praising Iron Monkey's acidic sludge sound and live ferocity. Reviewers highlight the self-titled album, Our Problem, and the 2002 live/compilation Ruined By Idiots.

For:Fans of sludge/doom metal, underground heavy music listeners, and readers who like raw, confrontational reviews.
