Heavy metal by robots band Compressorhead

These guys are made of metal. At one time, their popularity was quite large, because this is the first rock band whose members are robot musicians. Now they have been forgotten, but the other day I listened to the studio album of "iron" guys and I like it. Actually I was more attracted to the fact than music, but still.

Gang was created in Germany. Back in 2007, engineers-robotechs Marcus Stock and Frank Barnes were excited about the idea of creating a robot musician. So there was the first member of Stickboy. A couple of years later, they created a guitarist, then a bassist. So a group of three metal dudes and began their musician way. They gave concerts and song compositions of famous heavy metal performers.

Let's listen to Motorhead's Ace Of Spades:

Compressorhead is not the only robotic group in the world. There are several analogs, but this is a total horror. Take at least their Japanese "colleagues" Z-Machines, where the drummer also had many hands, and the guitarist had 78 automatic fingers.

But in the case of the Z-Mashinz everything is bad: the feeling that their guitarist-vocalist is created in the likeness of Chinese cheap battery toys. Well, remember, these plastic robots, which, when moving, glow red and blue lights and make strange loud rattl from under ass.

And now a little bit about the participants of Compressorhead.

Mega-Wattson

Imagine that Ridley Scott's "Alien" still got to our planet and created a heavy metal gang.

Mega-Wattson is a real front man. He races on the stage, waving his head, from which prickles like Zoidberg's from Futurama, roars like a real rock-n-roll roller and even stirs with snow-white teeth. If he did not sung, I would be afraid of him.

Stickboy

If Goro from Mortal Kombat got deadly injuries in the battle, underwent a transformation, retired and took up music - he would look something like that.

Stickboy is a drummer with four hands and a pair of legs. He plays on the installation of 14 elements. In addition, he has a steep metal Iroquois.

Fingers

Here, probably, engineers simply could not design such a metal dude who could outrun the technology and speed of the game Dave Mustaine.

They decided not to bathe and gave him 78-finger fingers, which he plays on 13 frets. I heard on the studio album even solos.

Bones

The end for kind children's tales. Wall-e grew up and instead of collecting garbage he decided to thrown up in rock'n'roll. Now he is the master of the four-stringed bass-guitar.

Stickboy-junior

I liked this one small guy more than anyone else. The feeling that it was created in the likeness of post-apocalyptic cinematograph of the 70's and 80's.

A cool kid in shoes, responsible for hi-hat. There is a feeling that this is a mechanical three-year-old child of the same drummer Stickboy, who is trying all his might to be near to the pope and help him in everything. Family business.

Hellga Tarr

Robot-guitarist. It is unclear why, but the engineers decided that one of the gang members should be a girl. No one mind, but it does not look like a female character very much.

Initially, the band performed with covers, but a few years ago rumors began to circulate about recording in a studio. All 14 songs for full-length work were written by John Wright, a famous musician who played in the once popular The Hanson Brothers, as well as NoMeansNo.

A song from the only album "Party Machine":

The album turned out to be not bad, there are good themes and that the main thing is that it is not a one-time album. Still, I believe that people should play rock. This music, in the first place, is built on the emotional component, human experiences and many other grains, which the robot can not tell.

Let engineers put years into their work, investors gave millions but it's not the same. Compressorhead performances are really cool, but more fans buy tickets solely to take a look at how six cans play on musical instruments.
