Iron Monkey (Jim Rushby)-Interview-Talking Sludge sound on Spleen and Goad-Out April 5

UK sludge trio IRON MONKEY will release their new full-length, Spleen & Goad, on April 5th through Relapse Records! On Spleen & Goad, the legendary band is as uncompromising as ever, churning out some of the grittiest sounding sludge doom in their twenty-five-plus year history. Dubbed a "doom sludge vanguard" by The Sludgelord, IRON MONKEY lives up to their legacy, absolutely pummeling through each of the nine tracks on their new album. From the two-ton, heavier-than-anything-else riff opening "Concrete Shock,” IRON MONKEY shows no signs of easing up; fuzzed out guitars crash against pulse-pounding drums, set against vicious, misanthropic snarls and barks. Elsewhere, tracks like the aptly titled "Rat Flag" kicks the band into high gear with palpable fury and malaise. https://www.relapse.com/pages/iron-mo... Recorded in their native Nottingham, Spleen & Goad was mastered stateside by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
