On 2 April 1996, New Orleans sludge lords Eyehategod released their third album, Dopesick, before taking an unofficial four-year hiatus shortly after.

At the height of their drug fuelled lifestyle, "the band was just a huge felony rolling down the highway", though surprisingly able to channel their "southern hardcore blues" in the studio when it mattered.

"Dopesick is an album the listener has to sweat out."

I've been a fan of Eyehategod for what feels like forever (not since 1996, though) and they've had a significant impact on me. So it's almost funny that I never really listened to Iron Monkey.
