This t-shirt proudly displays the name and album art of Iron Monkey’s “9-13,” a 2017 release marking the British sludge metal band’s return after a six-year hiatus. Formed in 1989, Iron Monkey is considered a pioneer of the sludge metal genre, known for their slow tempos, crushing riffs, and atmospheric soundscapes.

While information specifically about “9-13” is somewhat limited, Iron Monkey’s overall sound provides a good idea of what to expect. Their music blends elements of doom metal and stoner rock, resulting in a heavy and downtuned listening experience. Earsplitting guitar riffs and pummeling drums create a thick, sludgy atmosphere, often accompanied by vocalist John Georgopoulos’s melancholic growls.

“9-13” was released on Relapse Records and consisted of presumably 7 tracks, judging by the tracklisting found on online music stores. The album title and song titles themselves might offer clues about the record’s themes, but without listening analysis is difficult.

Iron Monkey’s return with “9-13” was a welcome event for fans of sludge metal, showcasing their signature style and solidifying their legacy as influential pioneers.
