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.

Includes liner notes by Dave Grohl.

Probot includes: Wino (vocals, guitar); Lemmy, Cronos (vocals, bass); Max Cavalera, Mike Dean, Kurt Brecht, Lee Dorrian, Tom G. Warrior, Snake, Eric Wagner, King Diamond (vocals); Kim Thayil, Matt Sweeney, Bubba Dupree, Erol Unala (guitar); Dave Grohl (various instruments).

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.

Probot

With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb and striking as it is, it's not necessarily a good keystone for the rest of the record, which does have a few tougher numbers that pick up on the lean, mean vibe of 2008's THAT DON'T MAKE ME A BAD GUY -- "Every Dog Has Its Day," the sly "If I Had One," and the heavy blues stomp "Loaded" -- but spends more time on the softer side, even when he kicks up a bit of dust on the dancefloor on "You Can't Read My Mind" or does a funny, respectful salute to military life on "Ballad of Balad." In other words, the real touchstone for the rest of the record is "Tender as I Wanna Be," where he lets his guard down and lets the romance flow. This doesn't turn ...
