This is the English answer
to Gwar. Neanderthal rock that'll soon run rampant across your living
room floor and take it's rightful place alongside the poor and tasteless.
With a sonic intensity so big it'd have King Kong stomping the grounds
for hours in sheer ecstacy-and look now, there's a cavernous pit right
back where your yard once stood, Iron Monkey's newest "Our
Problem" might well become yours.with a little luck.
This English beat is neither danceable nor pleasant any way you look
at it, but rather noisy, leaning for the most part to the far left
of excruciating and agonizing, where grind-core meets sludge-rock
in a decibel-crush of rolling rudeness that patterns itself after
no one in particular. It's hard not to imagine them as more than a
rock and roll spoof with the name and with songs that include "Supagorgonizer"
and "Nine Joint Spiritual Whip," (how long is this?) but
they can play-just not that well. Actually they'll play better than
they can sing. If there's even one word anyone can pick up in the
lyrics, I'll eat bananas for a week!
Imagine what Sabbath might've sounded like after a few too many nights
of binge drinking and Ozzy's spent voice after a full bout with touring
and a 4 pack a day habit. There's nothing musically significant here
but I'd imagine these guys must be a trip to see live. The Kyuss vibe
is unmistakable by song six, "2 Golden Rules." if you can make
it that far past the sick cover booklet illustrations which have to
be seen to be appreciated!
But no, I'd dare suggest not everyone would be so appreciative of
it!
Yes, somebody had to have a lot of fun with this one!
Let the primates run wild!
