DAVE GROHL'S PROBOT IS FINALLY HERE!
Former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl has confirmed to MTV.com that his
much-anticipated metal side project PROBOT will finally surface in early
fall on Southern Lord Recordings. "It's not unlike [Santana's
"Supernatural"] record in that it really kick ass, but it's not the kind of
thing that you'd expect," Grohl said of the album. "There's a certain kind
of person that will like the Probot record and there aren't that many of
those people.... I mean, it's not meant to, like, make money." Probot's
debut CD - which features Grohl, Zwan guitarist Matt Sweeney and Foo
Fighters producer Adam Kasper accompanying Slayer's Tom Araya, Motorhead's
Lemmy Kilmister and others singers - has been in the works for much of the
past three years, and was previously rumored to be coming out through
either Roadrunner Records or RCA Records (via Grohl's Roswell imprint).
"After recording a bunch of it, a friend of mine said, 'Wow, you know what
would be really cool is if you could get a different vocalist to sing on
each thing.' And then I picked all of my favorite vocalists from that
specific genre of music, underground metal from like '83 to '89," Grohl
explained. Among the tracks that are set to appear on the effort are the
following: "Dictatorsaurus" (feat. Snake), "Centuries Of Sin" (feat.
Cronos), "Access Babylon" (feat. Mike Dean), "Sweet Dreams" (feat. King
Diamond), "Ice Cold Man" (feat. Lee Dorrian), "My Tortured Soul" (feat.
Eric Wagner), "Big Sky" (feat. Tom G. Fischer), "Emerald Lies" (feat. Wino)
and "Shake Your Blood" (feat. Lemmy)…
