Masterminded by former members of Oddman and can Haven, Sacramento, CA’s Abominable Iron Sloth adhere to within the megalithic paw images of post-hardcore sludge steel ensembles like Eyehategod, Acid Shower, and Iron Monkey. Featuring vocalist/guitarist Justin Godfrey, guitarists Cayle Hunter and Jeff Irwin, bassist Mike Martin, and drummer Mitch Wheeler, the group released their eponymous debut through Goodfellow Information in early 2006.
