Iron Man

With a name like Iron Man, and once part of the Hellhound family, it should come as no surprise that this band has a strong Black Sabbath influence, and in fact the band formed in 1988 as a Sabbath tribute band. By the time the band released their first album in 1993, Iron Man incorporated more 80's influences, with the guitar sound straight from the early Sabbath albums but the songs themselves a bit more uptempo. Former vocalist Rob Levey is now best known as the organizer of the popular Stoner Hands Of Doom festivals, of which there have been several in the last decade. The band hasn't recorded since 1999 and keep a relatively low profile (as well as changing members frequently), but as of June 2006 the lineup consisting of Jon Owen (vocals), Alfred Morris III (guitars), Louis Strachan (bass) and Gus Basilika (drums) was active.
