[jayscee7792]

[sky6030]

[PsychoReaper49]

@DGENERATE07

And I'd do anything to see DEATH live, but it ain't gonna happen.

[DGENERATE07]

@PsychoReaper49 indeed

[akullerkann]

Every time I hear some shitty song from some shitty artist like Bieber, R.Black, Rihanna, Gaga I find a real good heavy metal/rock song and listen to it till I forget the previous one. Today this song is Bad Year by Iron Monkey and I freaking love it.

[peppermintmmeringue]

That album art is so fucking sweet.

[Meldyvids]

On the first album had a sicker that said they were 'downtuned aggro-stoner sludgecore'

[HarlemDoomsday]

not sure if the pictures really moving. to be fair, i am quite stoned.

[AlKenny]

cunt yr mum

[NailBombed]

Take some beaten-the-fuck-out-of drums, some spine ripping bass, coruscating riffage, and one filth-infected voice. Mix, and serve. Classic. The Monkey rules all.

[MrTeejaysingh]

i love the way all iron monkey tracks start ff with that distorted guitar sound! fuckin awsomely classic!!! ....only iron monkey!!!!!!!!!

[KAPichon]

AWESOME!!! that visual effect on the album art PERFECTLY relfects what the visual of LSD gives you, it suprised me lol i had to do a double take, thought i was trippin again an didnt know it! =)

[InkDropFalls]

[irockwithbillgates]

[ChristRocket9000]

@irockwithbillgates go to google, search the words: iron monkey our problem mediafire. I don't really know how to look it up otherwise, but I just did that and it worked perfectly... mediafire and blogspots are the best ways to get this stuff. good searchings

[wiredboy27]

Unrelenting.

[blackcottoncandycane]

JPM... why are the most beautiful taken so young?So missed.

[joemetal24]

HELL YEAH!! I JUST found out about these guys while reading some EYEHATEGOD comments, I'm diggin' it!!!!!

[minorkatminor]

Vocals Suck, Everything eles is awesome.

[MyArseX10]

@minorkatminor

i love the vocals.

[minorkatminor]

@MyArseX10 I dont give a shit.

[Geryon21]

@minorkatminor Vocals suck?Are you such a douchebag or you pretend to be one?It's a Sludge band mate.Wake up.Anyway it sounds way better than your emocore screams of abuse and violation you worthless piece of shit.

[minorkatminor]

@Geryon21 hahahah Your the piece of shit.. Did you make a youtube account to leave comments or what? 

[CupisHomines]

no wonder they remind me of electric wizard.

[Swarmking]

Legacy of stench!

[vibble83]

r.i.p john morrow.remember seeing them at the garage years back when labrat and As she screams were about. good ol' days

[EighteenBuddha]

Iron Monkey was fucking BOSS.

[pubbb69]

i was reading the comments then i scrolll up and the picture is moving O_o

i love this band. so sick

[greenmean666]

love this band

[DoomKitty]

RIP Mr Morrow, some may not enjoy his vocals, many would give their all to hear him belt it out just once more. Always and forever saluting Greavesy and his blood lust busted knuckles beltin skins....

fuck you

[blackbloodvomitorium]

@humanheadcheese same... i dont understand almost all of them, but its so aggressive and fitting to the music it just works!

[blackbloodvomitorium]

I love iron monkey!!! these guys got sludge riffs on par with titans like eyehategod and crowbar! I love how you can play this band next to almost any other band and people are still like fuck me thats heavy!

[Cataclysmacist]

What the fuck? Those noises in the intro are from the beginning of Black Sabbath - Hole in the Sky

[SouthernDoom666]

i got 2 of their cd's  man i love the music but no offense to any one just not so into the vocals..

[RainbowRatatouille]

Mother fucker these are sweet ^^

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

There is always a band that comes onto the music scene with that something special about them.There is no words to express the energy of this band,really!!

Fuckin' in aaaaaawwwwwweeeeee!!!!!!

[ratpissy]

Dan Hardy mentioned this band in a conversation.... so thats why im here.TY Dan Hardy

[mikups]

jesus. this has got to be one of the most aggressive tunes EVER. the riff at 2.08 is ridiculous. i hope jonny is resting in peace now.

[stabyourcat]

How pretentious of you.

[ZephroCornellan]

Heavy, real heavy stuff. Cannot forget, we tried to cover, but we couldn't find the lyrics on net, and in the booklet there's "unreadable." So I just grunted everything what came into mind. Didn't matter, the crowd couldn't understand a word :D

\m/

[kopileegh16]

Who gives a shit what kind of labeled genre these dudes are? According to Wikipedia? LMAO...

It's just heavy fucking music and it rules

[Tejapones]

Nice... very nice *w*

[killercrabman]

THEIR 1ST ALBUM IS 10xBETTER...HEAVY SHIT..

THEY BANNED THE COVER IN ALOT OF PLACES..I SAW THEM IN NOTTS AND I NEARLY CRIED...

[simony999]

I would've too man

[nobualchemist000]

Fucking great song and vocals.

Rip Johnny Morrow

[babywobbles]

It's just Iron Monkey

[autopsy87]

wow that intro is from hole in the sky.

[simony999]

I thought that too lol

[xXBlakkMajikXx]

I've just seen on the front page of youtube that disney channel is premeiring a show that features a band with a VERY SIMILAR name.

In other news, I could sing in this band. :)

[monkeyboy6676]

sounds like these guys were an influence on raging speedhorn

[BitchinnShoes07]

That monkey looks like it could stab you with its nipples.

[thingupstairs]

Did anyone else feel their bowels loosen the first time they listened to this song REALLY loudly?

Just me then.

[themetalsky]

fikazza !

[gmanhell94]

This band has reached the heavy point and can't get no heavier. If they did, it would cause the earth to fall out of orbit and go spinning through the universe.

[dastevewantstusa]

EAT MY CUNTIN FAECES PARAMORE

[blackbloodvomitorium]

lmfao... fucking right!! iron monkey rapes the shit they play!!

[ajmo1]

I love the way the pic stretches slowly.

[warwick487]

fuck, man, does anyone have the lyrics?

[mikeassballs]

monkey rule, if this is your bag check out LIMBIC RIOT. best british sludge band that never was, found them today

[CR333P666]

lol this band sucks

[fuckkkaerosmith]

you sucks. god's fake. niggers are too

[tobilius]

Ridiculously good. Never heard better sludge... not for lack of trying tho

[NorbertHellacopter]

classic sludge.

[bagofcansbarry]

they kick the fuckin shite outta goatsnake,nebula,orange goblin etc. etc. for the crown of ultimate stoner/doom/hard rock band

just cant decide between them n kyuss,

iron monkey have more cunting balls out hatred to their sound, but kyuss do it from the psychadelic,chilled out, i-cant-move-my-legs angle

both opposite ends of the stoner scale o music

but both are unbelievable bands

neurosis kick the shit out of every band,every time,any time

[warwick487]

i agree with all of that, except i'd include electric wizard up there with monkey and kyuss. and black sabbath kicks everyone's ass including neurosis.

[badacid]

EWizard aren't the same type of band as IM, nor Kyuss.

Electric Wizard are in a class of their own.

(been fully-fledged DOOM listener since 1988, so I know more...)

[warwick487]

idk, i was responding to a comment someone left. and i know, these guys are a punky brand of sludge, EW is stoner, kyuss is desert rock... but they're all down-tempo bands stoners listen to, so calling them stoner bands, especially when most of them were actually stoners, is right enough.

"i know more." lol, internet

[badacid]

I know more. lol all you like.

EW is Doom.

[Dimebag556]

stoner doom my friend. Dont resist the groove.

[DoomKitty]

@warwick487 Hey there, not sure if you know but the drummer here with Iron Monkey also worked with Teeth of Lions Rule The Divine and Electric Wizard, there are a few others I can't grasp off the top of my stoner head but yeah pretty cool shit! Everyone wants to label.... why? Crippled Black Phoenix is another : )

[SurrealistManifesto]

@warwick487 Electric Wizard is more Doom than Stoner.

[warwick487]

@SurrealistManifesto did you feel that thing wizzing over your head? it was my point, you missed it evidently.

[565144]

@warwick487 yo whats ew? o electric wizard but arent they doom?

[tamadrumkit]

@565144 here it for yourself

[bakayurei]

@warwick487 if you mean electric wizard, then they're doom.. but you're quite right, it's all stoner in the end.. .. or to take it a bit further, it's all rock and roll

[fotosintesi1]

@warwick487 WHAT THE FUCK U TALKN ABOUT?

[steinarey]

And right you are. Kyuss is Stoner metal, Iron Monkey is sludge/doom mix with Death Metal and Electric Wizard is THE Doom.

[robbus781]

right you are... except Kyuss is nowhere near metal. Go with stoner rock. ASSHAT!

[steinarey]

It's Stoner rock/metal according to them and wikipedia. So... right WE are :D

[insanecourt]

This is not just music man, this is psychotherapy

Iron monkey was ahead of its time, i have melt this record and every time it makes me feel good and strong, this is the art of making diamonds with shits . don't fuck with the monkey

[TheTrashmen]

"but i expected more than this... "... More than what? There's nothing more than Balls!

[coolcat5678910]

the vocals are so fucking bad hahaha

[BlackImperium]

growling is easy and usually silly. this man was in genuine pain.

r.i.p. john

[elpudino]

Murder! Fraud! Corpses getting colder!

[lordbitterness]

someone recommended this band to me.

not bad, but i expected more than this...

[Theavantgarde]

If anyone can post the lyrics to this song from just listening to this.....i'll consider you a fuckin genius...first time listening to iron monkey...this shit is heroin...instantly addicted

[ThePrimusGuy]

I believe the lyrics are. EEEEHHH BALLA! UR RAH URH RAH! thats all i can understand besides the occasional "fuck".

[SirAntonCrowley23]

I' love suking cock

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeCOCK!

[scottinthedark]

im a huge fan of iron monkey there so heavy i cant find any of there realeses anywhere except 1 at earache. thanks for the info on the band as i know nothing about em besides the music its sad to know the vocalist died :(. iron monkey kick ass man

[xronx24]

Check out the Earache website.. you can pre-order the discography now!

[Xavierrex3]

WOW, I'm a headbanger but just by hearing those vocals i was not headbanging the're pretty scary

[harveydeadman]

this stuff is rad.

[BitchinnShoes07]

thats what happens.

when you spend most of your career screeaming like a neanderthal with lyrics that make no sense, your heart's gonna quit.

[rashadpwnzuall]

I own all three albums. Iron Monkey is fucking amazing.

Good music like this will never be heard in the mainstream. Mainstream record labels are too busy shoving these flavor of the month pop stars down our throats. Fuck them.

Long live Iron Monkey!

[sludgedisciple]

Iron Monkey are sick, I have both the full lengths and used to sport and Iron Monkey shirt for a while. Been into them for years.

Sick British Sludge-Doom. DONT FUCK WITH THE MONKEY!!!!

[rottenhills1986]

Iron Monkey fuckin slay,

RIP Jonny morrow

[Hairylungs]

I have two Iron Monkey ablums. I have their self-titled which I got at a local music store for $7 and then later that same week I got their promotional copy of the "We've Learned Nothing" split with Japan's Church of Misery. I paid $5.50 for that split and it was stolen from me. The cheapest I've seen it go for is $40 and the highest was $99. I'm pissed I lost it, but I still have one. I love Iron Monkey.

[MetalHeadchicklml]

THAT IS FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!

[faceofdeath]

i heard ages ago that jonny morrow was an mc as well, does anyone know where i can hear any of his hip hop stuff

[turduckenband]

why would you want to

[caesar6x3]

this my first time listening to them

they're sick

i just realize the picture is and acid trip

[Steve128967]

This is really underground. :S

[pokerrear]

holy shit i cant believe ive never heard these guys

[chehill]

Fucking masterpiece.

[MilkCandyFarm]

my uncle was friends with the singer.. he was also in the band hard to swallow, Bloody kev went to my mums engagement.

i remember when the singer died cuz he was upset and crying cuz they where friends.

[Roarfear]

now this is fucking good sludge metal. deffinatly a band i would go see live sick

[nunlover]

love this band, i have all their cd's. i was suprised to see they're kinda valuable now.

[mandrillfoden]

Anyone have the smoked vinyl 12"

[davidcouzens]

i fucking love this song.... want put together a band for 5 minutes... cover iron monkey songs... lay one gig then split up.

anyone up for it....

p.s. I cant play or sing.

[xchrisleonardx]

but i also suck

[WhatIAm99]

I'm a chargin' my sickening guttural growl!!!

[hailengland]

supprted them in my shit discore band 'disgorge' in their first majot gig in London, a legend of twisted sludge ultraviolence, had to be seen to be believed.. RIP Iron Monkey.... a stamp in the face of false-metal! HAIL!

[cgrind666]

FUCK FUCK FUCK!

Yes This shit is fucking gooddd.

dude is the cover fuckin movin?

[swampmonsta1]

i saw them at rock city at earache`s xmas gig. theyd just been signed. was heavy.

[ernestfuckinborgnine]

i love this record ...

[u1u0]

The very opening of this song uses the opening clip from "Hole In The Sky" by Black Sabbath.

That alone should tell you this is no real "core" band, but a pure sludge-a-RIFFic death mess.

[nebulamas]

one of the most imprtant sludge band ever !

[fndmntl]

'em and fudge tunnel

[fndmntl]

and both bands are from Nottingham

[Gedsville]

yeah I used to buy Hip-Hop vinyl off Johnny from above NonStop on St James Street,,he was a real nice guy RIP

[almightyjoey]

Don't forget Eyehategod.

[fndmntl]

they are good but eyehategod is an american band...

[craigisageek]

I saw IM supporting Misery Loves Co years ago - Morrow was hunched 2 feet from my face screaming like a banshee, memorable gig for sure! Why is there literally NO video footage of this band? Shame.

[loadsofpets]

We used to get wrecked and collapse on the floor paralyzedwith this album on repeat. Good times. Paul ,Ritch if you see this get in touch.

[badacid]

Yeh, Nine Joint Spiritual Whip - at the 4:20 mark - one of the THE greatest riffs of all fuckin' time.

Wrecked indeed!

(Noothgrush and Boulder as well...)

[MetalCoktail]

nice \m/

[johnnymoxie]
