Compressorhead: The Heaviest of Metal

So first robots take the auto industry from us laying off a number of hard working people. Then we see “Self Check Out” at CVS and various food stores while eliminating jobs for young working class folks, and now thanks to Compressorhead, based out of Germany, robots are even taking our Heavy Metal. Art was supposed to be the only thing humans had an advantage on over our future robot overlords who have trouble expressing this thing we call “Love.” They might not be singing the body electric but they are sure as hell playing Motorhead’s Ace of Spades.

In all seriousness this is pretty badass. What this could open up for future generations is the opportunity to orchestrate an entire metal album from paper to execution with live music (instead of relying on synths and drum machines). Even though it will be robotic, because the instruments are still played by robots, the orchestrated sound with time will still feel and sound live.

All I’m saying is when these guys learn how to sing… It’s all over. Heavy Metal will truly be 100% metal. Long live Compressorhead, you job thieving, dream stealing, hunks of metal.
