Head Foo Fighter Dave Grohl's drum-pummeling on SONGS FOR THE DEAF by Queens of the Stone Age revealed that the rock Renaissance man could indulge in his heavy metal leanings with powerful results. However, Grohl's Probot project takes this passion to even greater heights (and gloomier depths), by presenting collaborations with a different underground-metal vocalist on every track of the self-titled album.

Although many of these frontmen reached creative and commercial peaks with their bands in the 1980s, none have lost their vocal prowess, singing their lyrics over music written and (mostly) performed by Grohl. Standout moments include Max Cavalera (Soulfly/Sepultura) growling on the hard-charging "Red War," Corrosion of Conformity's Mike Dean ranting on the skate-core of "Access Babylon," and Snake of the pioneering prog-thrash band Voivod sneering on the fierce "Dictatosaurus." (Incidentally, Voivod's drummer, Away, contributes his inimitable artwork to PROBOT's cover.) Aided on two songs by former Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, Grohl truly solidifies this metal tribute on the creepy epic "Sweet Dreams," with the octave-climbing screamer King Diamond, and "Shake Your Blood," a rocked-out track featuring the legendary Lemmy of Motorhead on vocals and bass. Those looking for the catchy rock ditties of the Foo Fighters should be warned--this is full-on, full-blooded metal.

For the entirety of the 21st millennium, rumors have been flying about how Dave Grohl was putting together some sort of (death)-metal band. The name Probot became an instant flashpoint for the interest of music fans the world over. The secret sleeps no longer... The divine metallic inspiration & bloody roots of Dave Grohl will now be unleashed upon the world!! Features 11 tracks including collaborations with King Diamond, Cronos (Venom), Wino (Obsessed), Lemmy (Motorhead), Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly), & other dark souls! Southern Lord. 2004.

Rolling Stone (2/19/04, p.67) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "[A] labor of love seething with spite....Look no further for the year's first great metal album."
Spin (3/04, p.91) - "Grohl squeezes more brilliant moments out of his geographic brethren..." - Grade: B+
Q (3/04, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The result isn't for the meek, as the most grizzled singers on earth unite to belt out thrash and death metal numbers written by Grohl..."
Magnet (pp.105-6) - "With Probot, Dave Grohl explores his inner metalhead by writing and recording an album's worth of headbanging, throw-your-devil-horns-in-the-air songs."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/04, p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[A]n anti fashion statement that runs from thrash metal to a stoner groove, from classic metal to punkish thuggery."

4 stars Not heavy enough
The songs I like on this CD I like alot. In fact the whole thing is listenable. I guess I was expecting it to be heavier especially with some of the singers on here.

3 stars Is There Anything Dave Grohl Can't Do?
That Mr. Grohl has got some talent, but I think that he missed it a bit on this project. For me there is not enough songs that really get me goin'. "Shake Your Blood" gets me rockin' it's a killer song but other than that it's not as good as it should be.

4 stars truly "pleasant"!
Some tracks are masterpieces, some are a little "flat"... however a really good cd played and recorded with professionality and guts! Lee Dorrian and Wino shines higher than others.

Prog metal veterans Fates Warning continue to evolve, picking up where A PLEASANT SHADE OF GRAY left off with their newest offering, DISCONNECTED. The disc is a conceptual piece presented in the spirit of APSOG, differing only in that there isn't a single weak moment here; which isn't to make light of the brilliant moments found on that previous album--DISCONNECTED simply drips with perfection. Terry Brown's hand in the production is evident, and the album's contrasting ...

Conchita Campos No One Really Knows CD  (2009)

Probot music CDs
CD $10.38  SALE
In 2007, when singer-songwriter Conchita Campos released her debut EP, the soul/acoustic rock based So it Goes, she explained the intimate, soul searching nature of her work as a reflection of the many geographic moves she had made both growing up and as an adult. Her childhood took her from Pasadena to Philly to The Philippines. A music major at San Francisco State, she settled in the Bay Area before her restless creative spirit took her to her current home base of New York City. Where to next? To borrow from the title of her first full length solo recording, a jazzier and more heavily grooving date featuring The Park, a well known band of her old classmates from SFSU, No One Really Knows.While So it Goes featured tracks that Conchita recorded with two bands she was involved in, the acoustic trio Neoterics and the four piece band Conchita's Collective, No One Really Knows incorporates the trademark soul and hip-hop dynamic of The Park, which plays throughout the Bay Area and tours with various artists including British soul singer Alice Russell.And the inner ...
