Crobot is a very unusual group. The lead singer is quite good and entirely mad. The band is tight as hell, its complex stuff. I don't know if this makes any sense, but they have elements of Soundgarden and Monster Magnet, maybe a bit of Savatage. Ya, that didn't make sense.
Crobot is opening for Corrosion of Conformity's tour. I'm gonna see COC tomorrow, so I looked up the opening bands.
"Golden" is "a tribute to Chris Cornell." This was the first Crobot song I heard. Yesterday. I've played it a couple dozen times since then.
When your golden cage is empty.
And you've made your great escape.
They can do what they want with your flesh and your bones.
But your soul they cannot take.
"Golden" immediately set me back, made me try to put them in a category, figure out what kind of music this was.
Right. Good luck categorizing Crobot. This was one of those groups where I had to chew on everything they've done, multiple times. I still can't tell you what kind of music this is, but it was a satisfying meal.
Crobot has at least 6 albums, recording since at least 2011.
They have a website where you can buy their merch.
Their youtube is well managed, ton of videos, and their full releases on this page.
