PROBOT - S/T
Wow! Most of my favorite oldschool singers from the 80s metal underground on one CD. Who could ask for anything more?
This is a great concept. Dave Grohl form the Foo-Fighters/Nirvana got his favorite old-time metal singers together, wrote some
songs for them to sing over and put it all on a CD. Man, I can imagine that he had so much fun doing this, it must have been
one of the cooler moment sin Grohl's musical experiences. The songs are all tailored to the individual vocalists. The Cronos song sounds a
bit like Venom and the Max Cavalera song a bit like Sepultura/Soulfly. Some the the vocalists actually co-wrote the music.
That gives Probot a true feeling of collaboration, as opposed to some lame thing where a song was written and a vocalist leant
some half assed effort to it. Probot sounds good. Grohl plays most of the instruments, but let's be real here; he kicks ass and is
well up to the challenge. Here's the run down:
1. Centuries Of Sin: Cronos - from venom
2. Red War - Max Cavalera - from Sepultura/Soulfly
3. Shake Your Blood - Lemmy from Motorhead
4. Access Babylon -Mike Dean from COC
5. Silent Spring - Kurt Brecht from DRI
6. Ice Cold Man - Lee Dorrian from Cathedral/Napalm Death
7. The Emerald Law - Wino from the Obsessed
8. Big Sky - Tom G. War from Celtic Frost
9. Dictatosaurus - Snake from Voi-Vod
10. My Tortured Soul - Eric Wagner from Trouble
11. Sweet Dreams - King Diamond from Mercyful Fate
Some of these bands you've probably never even heard of/heard! So check this out and if you life the vocals
seek out the band's music. Some of these vocalist fronted some of my all time favorites. I would recommend this
for fans of 80s thrash metal and those who are curious about that era. It was fun to listen to this CD. Kim Thayil from
Soundgarden also makes a couple of appearances on here as well.
