Album Review - Probot, ST ***** Oh no ! It's that man again, the unstoppable Dave Grohl roars in with his latest project, Probot. Taking eleven heavy metal singers from the cream of the 80's thrash/metal wave and producing one song with each one. It grinds, it crunches, it booms, it doesn't piss about, it is a proper heavy metal album. From the opening track 'Centuries Of Sin' sung by the 'none more black' Cronos, through Max Cavalera's gruntings on 'Red War', via Lemmy, Tom G Warrior and King Diamond, this is a tour de force of the voices that made a decade (and more) of metal. Each track is done more or less in the style of the singers main band, Lemmy's 'Shake Your Blood' for example is undeniably Motorhead, although I can't help but mumble 'Enter The Church Of The Apocalyptic Lawnmower' to Lee Dorrian's effort 'Ice Cold Man'. Grohl must have had a hell of a good time making this album, being able to work with his pick of his own musical influences must have been a dream come true, the multi talented Grohl helped to compose all the songs (though the vocalists mostly composed their own lyrics), played all the drums, nearly all the bass parts and most of the guitar too, good going that man. Any fan of true heavy metal will be more than happy to find shelf space for this intriguing album, it's just a shame that a live appearance by the Probot ensemble would appear to be totally out of question.
