"IRON MONKEY LIVE UP TO THEIR LEGACY, ABSOLUTELY PUMMELING THROUGH EACH OF THE 9 TRACKS ON THEIR NEW ALBUM."

PIC(S) INFO: Finally unleashed last month! -- Spotlight on "Spleen & Goad," the fourth studio album by Nottingham-based DOOM/sludge metal band, IRON MONKEY, released on April 5, 2024 under the U.S. label, Relapse Records.

BAND BIO: "UK sludge trio IRON MONKEY return with their highly anticipated new album, "Spleen & Goad"!

On "Spleen & Goad," the legendary band are as uncompromising as ever, churning out some of the most gritty sounding sludge doom in their 25 + year history. Dubbed a "DOOM/sludge vanguard" by The Sludgelord, IRON MONKEY live up to their legacy, absolutely pummeling through each of the 9 tracks on their new album.

From the two-ton, heavier-than-anything-else riff opening "Concrete Shock", IRON MONKEY show 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.

Recorded in their native Nottingham, "Spleen & Goad" was mastered stateside by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege."

-- RELAPSE RECORDS, c. spring 2024

apa yg saya dengarkan di mar 2024.

mad season, above (alt. rock, grunge). semua serba pas, tidak berlebihan di segala bagian. harmonisasi yg memukau

eyelids, maybe more (pop). sebuah harmonisasi album pop yang nyaman

the decemberist, castaways and cutouts (rock, folk, world & country). seperti ini mungkin analogi mendengarkan album ini, manis dan renyah seperti makan eskrim cone

hank III, straight to the hell (folk, world & country). bayangkan seorang yang enthusiast di hardcore punk/metal membuat album country. tak beda jauh serupa genre post punk, suka punk tp g memainkan punk

iron monkey, concrete shock (sludge metal). rilisan terbaru iron monkey, sound nya cukup modern kali ini

the basement dry, statement (indie rock). band baru yg membawa kita kembali ke gemuruh indi rock 90an, bogor pride!

coaltar of the deepers x boris, hello there (alt. metal, alt. rock, shoegaze). suguhan blackgaze dari boris

megadeth, cryptic writings (heavy metal, thrash, hard rock). tanpa riff metal yg epic namun dave mampu menyuguhkan harmonisasi dalam lagu keras

guzzard, quick, fast, in a hurry (alt. rock, hardcore, noise). noise rock yg kadang sedikit hc kadang sedikit punk kadang sedikit grunge

I've got a character rattling around my head at rapid speeds, so I'mma talk about 'em. Heroforges will be at the end.

Introducing: Risha, the Hadozee warlock of an Efreet. This flying monkey is a pyromanic gambler who got her deal because her patron liked the cut of her jib. Risha was a wizard's apprentice, in theory anyway. The wizard wasn't interested in actually teaching anyone anything, so used Risha as a glorified errand girl, and thus, quickly got a high score on her shit list.

Cut to sometime later, the wizard has sealed a Noble Efreet in an iron bottle. Whatever plans he had for this powerful extra-planar being are about as important to this story as they are fruitful, which is to say, not. Risha, once her 'mentor' had left the tower to get off his ass and do something himself, slips into his lab, and promptly pops the cork. Having been told very much not to, she figured there'd be something in there to help her get some revenge.

So, the Efreet comes out, and before he can actually get into any kind of spiel or theatrics, Risha asks this:

"What do I need to do to get you to melt this tower into slag?"

Now, this understandable takes the wind outta the sails of any tirade this guy would've gone on, and instead he strikes a deal. Not every day a scorned apprentice releases a powerful elemental of fire and dubious morals to destroy their captor's house after all.

So, Risha gets to collect a few things, including the iron bottle the Efreet was sealed in, now with brass filigree added on as it will be her spell focus, and the material symbol of their deal. Then, once outside, the Efreet melts the stone tower to magmatic sludge, and arms his new monkey friend with pyrotechnic spells.

Now, as well as being a fire mage that is often watched as entertainment by her patron (he just kinda wants to see what she's gonna do), Risha is, as I mentioned, a gambler.

She loves shiny things, and money. She's proficient with dice, and even has a loaded set. However much she's able to bend the rules in her favor though, there is another who does it just as well. And unlike the Efreet this character actually has a name.

Introducing: Mayja, Queen of Bones. She's a Loxodon, and has had a reputation in among gamblers and gambling houses alike for likely a good couple of decades longer than Risha has been at it, earning herself a title befitting of someone that is rumored to have seduced some god of dice, luck, or both.

Mayja and Risha have had an ongoing rivalry for about as long as they've known each other, potentially as long as they've known of each other.

I haven't got to use her in a campaign yet, and the ones I'm currently in she either wouldn't fit in setting wise, or probably wouldn't work with the party. Well, actually she could maybe fit into the Knights of the Road game, but it just wouldn't be the same, I don't think. She was made for 5e D&D after-all and Knights of the Road doesn't give you access to magic, iirc.

Honestly, after typing all this, I think i might work on Risha's patron a bit more, or at least give him a name.

Anyway, as promised, everyone's heroforges. I just kinda wish that HF had better monkey options, since they've even partnered with Fools Gold, and one of the player characters is an awakened monkey wild mage. Risha's wings aren't accurate either, since the options for flying squirrels are even more sparse.

I'm also most happy with Mayja's expression of all the character's I've made in HF, just because I was pretty much only needing to worry about the eyes, without the mouth making things weird, or needing to be accounted for.

Risha

The Efreet

And Mayja

apa yg saya dengarkan di feb 2024.

integrity, closure (hardcore). Metalcore penuh warna mendengarnya bagai dalam wahana taman ria, terkadang mencekam seperti rumah hantu, terkadang tegang seperti roller coaster, terkadang manis seperti berputar dalam bianglala

buried alive, death of your perfect world (metalcore). metalcore murni tanpa ornamen apapun, siap ditenggak dan akan memicu aliran darah semakin cepat

viking crown, banished rhythmic hate (black metal). sebuah kegelapan, kekejaman dan penyiksaan batin yang sangat berhasil disajikan oleh anselmo dalam projek black metal yang penuh gimmick, viking crown

amenra, mass I (metalcore, noise, sludge). gelombang suara gitar memainkan aksi sebagai aktor utama dalam ep ini. cadas, beringas dan tanpa ampun

temarram, selubung abadi EP (post punk). postpunk dengan aura film suzanna malam satu suro. gothic lokal yang bikin merinding

soilent green, confrontation (southern rock, grindcore, death metal). Cepatnya hardcore punk beradu dengan riff-riff lambat dan berat

hellhammer, apocalyptic raids (black metal). gelombang pertama black metal dengan gitar nyaring yang melaju sangat cepat dan dinyanyikan serupa vokal lemmy kilmister

pasteboard, glitter (shoegaze). sebuah album shoegaze yg memiliki sound teramat pop, wajar sebab band ini terinspirasi dari teenage fanclub

rufio, self-titled EP (emo, pop rock). khas proto emo punk, lirik manis, tempo cepat, dan melodik sederhana yang menendang

poison the well, tear from the red (metalcore). tidak sekencang metalcore tapi tidak selembut emo

iron monkey, 9-13 (sludge, doom). sludge ala’ hardcore punk!

Nasenbluten, 100% No Soul Guaranteed (speedcore, hardcore). kala hardcore punk dimainkan dalam boiler room di bekas reruntuhan puing tembok berlin, dipayungi awan mendung.

faceless burial, At The Foothills Of Deliration (death metal). turbulensi gitar dan ketukan drum death metal classic yang menyeret kembali ke dekade kelam 90an
