(November 2024) Episode 611 of the “opus project” is IRON MONKEY. This UK-based outfit recorded a couple of excellent sludge metal albums in the 90s and reunited for a third in 2017. This subgenre is not for everyone but it is for me. I think it’s funny that the music platforms attach an “E” warning for explicit lyrics when the words are (intentionally) indecipherable.
Favourite album: Iron Monkey
Favourite song: OmegaMangler
Compared to expectations: same ↑
Recommendation: An acquired taste. The first two albums are more raw, the third more refined.
