"Former vocalist Johnny Morrow was found dead in his apartment on June 22, 2002, of heart failure, related to a kidney illness that he had been suffering for some time."
Wow..the music here is awesome, but you have to admit, those are some terrible lyrics. Downright stupid, really. Sludge is awesome , don't get me wrong,but these guys should just stick to instrumental stuff, because they are NOT lyricists.Ill stick with Acid Bath for the GOOD lyrics.
@ReverendArmaggedon Take in mind they are a Sludge band. and what are most sludgeheads on when they write their material? Thats, right HEAVY drugs. Cut em a little slack
@kingnat2 Yeah, but look at just about every other sludge metal band there is. Eyehategod, Crowbar, Coffinworm, Cavity, Buzzov*en, The Abominable Iron Sloth, Acid Bath, Dukatalon, Isis, Old Man Gloom, Ramesses, Soilent Green, Sourvein, 16, and even the Melvins. None of those bands have lyrics this terrible(except that Melvins album with gibberish instead of lyrics), and some of them were on just as many drugs as these guys. And some of them are heavier than these guys too.
@icannotskate Look through the list you replied to, several of them are heavier. The Abominable Iron Sloth, for one, and Ramesses, and Soilent are all heavier than Iron Monkey. Oh, and Nile, and some of Morbid Angel's work(Where the Slime Lives) are heavier as well. Just look around, it's not hard. Well done sludge is brutal, poorly done sludge is just noise, and isn't heavy at all. Iron Monkey is kind of in the middle.
absolutely horrid (not that this assessment will be considered a put down for so many of you) - now that I know what the singing is about the horridness only grows and festers
@teabagbob oh im sorry mr douchebag i mean teabag i totally missed out on the deepness in your lyrics. one of my favorite lines fetered arms reaching for black penis im sure thats what you do in your spare time anyways and also your love of seprerating the your delusion for cum..fantastic and the same riff used throughout the entire song..sweet or so i assume and tell me what the fuck does fink dialing(like how u jazzed up prank call) have to do with anything in this song at all huh bob bitch?
@myhandisburned By the way, your arguments would hold a lot more weight if you didn't come across as someone who uses English as their second, or perhaps even third language.
HAHA shit! randomly i just came here (from a dubstep video) and im an all listener.. i listen to everything but this raw raw thing with blackned penises? WHAT THE FUCK XD
i used to to there studio rehersales back in 98 ..along with miocene ..........Dude these guys woul leave there amps on fullbast and fuck off to the pub and leave it FeedBacking Like a mutha fucka then come back pissed and start wrighting songs
Where did all the metal go ..........BRING BACK THE METAL

I curse the day I missed these guys.. train didnt show. Thats how long ago it was.. Just bought my first 'Monkey tshirt the other day though, (t'internet is available now too) was getting a bit nostalgic..
Someone on my facebook posted an update raving about Bullet for my Valentine and how they were 'one of the heaviest bands ever', so I sent him a link to this song. For some peculiar reason he didn't like it...
I do what I can, dude. In a way I'm glad that there's such an abundance of identikit Kerrang! bands because as long as all the scene kids and emos are listening to that, they won't go looking for anything else. Not that I can ever see them listening to this hahaha!
@thingupstairs Funny you should say that because Kerrang put this on a free CD back in 96, It was how I discovered Iron Monkey :) I then went to see them in 98 as a result, sick band but god they were hated by the crowd.
Ironically enough (and I'm not making this up) the first Iron Monkey song I heard was on a Kerrang c.d back in about 2002. It was a compilation by Casey Chaos. It never used to be that bad a mag, but since the whole emo scene got really big it just went to shit.
Iron Monkey were the only ones to pull something off like this. Sludgy, groove, anger, sick in the head lyrics and keep your ears on a whole song w/o feeling the urge to skip to another song or skim through a song for something they miss placed or left out.
Iron Monkey the daddy's of Sludgecore J.P. Morrow was one of the sickest men i've ever met he will be dearly missed, The Maniac Beast lives on in all the Monkey Fans Keep it Sick, Violent and Abusive, Sick, Shit and Ants!!!! oh and if you havent heard of Iron Monkey check out House Anxiety on the album our problem it'll kick your fucking head in!!!!
i argree with what you have said but i'm only using the term sludgecore as it is on the front of the self titled album iron Monkey you'll find it on the limited edition version.
if you dont like sludge doom or stoner or black metal jsut fuck off you are not worthy of the heaviness thank you
