UNDERGROUND A&R REPORT

Shrine Of The Monkey - self titled

Big feet stomping original core metal, like geezer and the fathers of heavy. Their first gigs were for Hells Angels, so they are well on their way to motherfuckers completely sacrificing themselves to this shit. Their groove is strong, lyrics exceptional. True there isn't a shred of orginality as far as the arrangements (Iommi did them all first over the years), but fuck the riffs are monsters man! This recording in straight up live, and they sound powerful, which is how I like to hear it, no overdubbing processed bs when you do this deed, three piece power trio. Hailing from England, Shrine Of The Monkey continue the solid tradition of British rock, in the working band way. Fans of stonecore and doom, you need a Shrine Of The Monkey in your collection.
