Long-Awaited Release From Probot on the Way


Dave Grohl, best known for his drumming with Nirvana... or is it his guitar and vocals for Foo Fighters? ...or is it his drumming for Queens of the Stone Age? Well, however you know him, he's preparing to release his album of his "heavy metal" project, Probot.

The album was actually recorded before the last Foo Fighter and QotSA installments, with Grohl playing all the instruments, but this time around, doing no singing... So, who did he get to sing for him? Well, all kinds of metal goodness - the likes of Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Kurt Brecht (DRI), Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Sepultura), Mike Dean (old C.O.C.), Denis "Snake" Belanger (Voivod), Lee Dorian (Napalm Death), and King Diamond... Also appearing on the King Diamond-backed track is former Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil.

The first video will be "Shake Your Blood" featuring Lemmy and the video will feature the "Internet community's" Suicide Girls...

The album is slated for a Feburary '04 release, but there will be a single released next month, according to the album's label, Southern Lord Records. Go there for a sneak peek at the new music... It's seriously chunky, heavy stuff...
