Sing Monkey Sing, the fourth album from alternative Southern rockers Raging Slab, is a strange experience to say the least. A haphazardly assembled collection of half-baked, atonal Southern-tinged grinds, the album is simply a huge question mark – especially following the masterful accomplishment that was 1993's Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert…
Raging Slab was described as a combination of Metallica meets Lynyrd Skynyrd, which is a fairly apt description (though one could say Blackfoot), but one key ingredient was left out, Pat Travers, heavy Pat Travers circa "Putting it Straight" & "Heat in the Street," and maybe more influential than Metallica. Raging Slab was a formidable musical entity, and their name fit perfectly. Singer Gregory Strzempka, belting out vocals like Ronnie Van Zant, with all the emotive capabilities of the former. Strzempka wrote lyrics like Ronnie to, of human pain & happiness. No, Raging Slab was not just a dumb redneck southern heavy metal outfit; there was a lot of brain power going on in this band, along with a wall of guitars. It is an immortal achivement of the highest order & not to be missed by anyone who loves heavy metal and southern rock!
