Probot
Probot was a heavy metal side project of ex-Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters lead guitarist and lead-singer Dave Grohl. Described by Grohl as "a death metal ''Supernatural''", the album mixes instrumentals recorded by Grohl himself with various metal singers which the musician idolized. The album was released in February 2004 by Southern Lord Records. It featured one single entitled "Centuries of Sin"/"The Emerald Law".
==Background==
After years of popularity in the alternative rock scene, Dave Grohl wanted to express the passion for heavy metal he bore since his youth. He mentioned as a catalyst for the experience the first leg touring for the Foo Fighters album ''There Is Nothing Left to Lose'', with the mellower songs making him think about the heavier bands he used to listen to. Grohl would play with his Gibson Explorer as he watched TV with Kasper, and once he got a riff that interested him, he would bring Kasper along to the basement, recording a drum arrangement followed by bass and guitar.〔(Man of Steel )〕 Each instrumental would take about 45 minutes to complete. Grohl said that he did not intend to make an album out of the recordings - "I didn’t even call them songs because they were bare instrumentals with no intention of putting vocals on them and no direction as an actual song".〔(Building The Perfect Probot )〕 After four days of recording, Grohl and Kasper had done seven tracks, with Grohl making some copies out of the master tape before labeling it Probot to distinguish from the Foo Fighters work.〔
Some time later, inspired by the Santana album ''Supernatural'', Grohl decided to attempt collaborations with singers he had idolized.〔(Dave Grohl Preps A ‘Death Metal Supernatural‘ With Probot )〕 He came up with "my wish list of all of my favorite singers from this era which is '82 to '89 underground metal, and all the bands I listened to at the time: Eric Wagner from Trouble, Snake from Voivod, Cronos (Venom ), Lemmy and Wino", and started contacting the musicians,〔 some of whom were reached by Grohl's friend Matt Sweeney given the Foo Fighters had restarted their tour.〔 Grohl feared his fame built out of being "a stupid, middle-of-the-road, alternative-rock idiot" could drive the metal singers away, but many agreed immediately.〔 Cronos would later explain that "I'm open for everything. And Dave's cool.", detailing that Grohl's email opened with "a real fan letter" where he mentioned his longtime appreciation of Venom, and then explained about his idea of a metal album with all his metal heroes "to get something off his chest".〔(VENOM Singer Comments On PROBOT Project: 'This Was Heavy Shit!' )〕
Seeing the positive response, Grohl brought Kasper and Sweeney back to do five more instrumental tracks and round out the project.〔 According to Grohl, the songs sent to Eric Wagner and King Diamond had been previously done for Ozzy Osbourne as he was contacted to write for the then-upcoming ''Down to Earth'', but given Osbourne's label did not respond, he eventually repurposed them for Probot.〔()〕 Sweeney would organize the project as Grohl toured with the Foo Fighters, getting vocalists on board and organizing tracks.〔(Dave Grohl's League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen )〕 Then the demo tapes were sent to the singers, each of whom was asked to come up with lyrics, record them and then title the song.〔(Dave Grohl Readies Metal Side Project ), Rolling Stone〕 Cronos detailed he wrote three different versions so Grohl could choose one.〔
