Iron Monkey
Once memorably described in the pages of the UK music magazine Kerrang! as having a sound "thicker than a shit milkshake", Iron Monkey formed in Nottingham, England, in 1994, intending "to irritate as many people as possible," according to bass player Doug Dalziel. That may have worked for a while, but eventually the band had to deal with the fact that quite a few people actually liked what they were doing. After releasing a self-titled six-song mini-album in 1996, the band gained a fair amount of appreciation in the underground. Rumors abounded that Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo was listening to the self-titled release when he overdosed on heroin in 1996.

"Our Problem" 1998
"We've Learned Nothing" split w/ Church of Misery 1998
"Ruined by Idiots" 2003
The various members went on to work on various projects including the Dukes Of Nothing, Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine, Phantom Limb Management, Armour Of God, and My War. Prior to his untimely death of kidney failure in June 2002, Morrow had formed Murder One and started his own label, Maniac Beast, on which a posthumous collection of live and lost recordings was released in 2002. Typically brutal and uncompromising, it was a fitting epitaph for Morrow's efforts.

Holy shit! Iron Monkey? These guys are bad ass!
Bongzilla had to up their game cause Iron Monkey is heavier than a Brachiosaurus dump.
I didn't always have to smoke weed to feel Iron Monkey's wrath.
Smoking weed then listening to Iron Monkey is definately an experience.
Brutal, angst, loud, unpleasant to the faint hearted, stoner groove. Iron Monkey was the only band to do it so wrong in the right way.
