For fans of Clutch, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rage Against the Machine, or Soundgarden, and if ten more bands that influenced Crobot's sound were needed to be named, they easily could be.
The powerful packed punch of the vocals of lead singer Brandon Yeagley is a great one-two with the spellbinding, head bobbing guitar riffs of Chris Bishop; not to mention the stellar solidity of the low frequencies of Sam Grim on bass guitar. Bishop brings his unique style of art to the table to add images to the stories unveiled by lyricist and frontman Brandon Yeagley. The two also plan on creating a graphic novel based on the songs from the album, set for an undetermined future release.
Crobot have spilled their sweat and tones on such stages as Philadelphia's Theater of Living Arts and Xfinity LIVE, The Paramount in Huntington, NJ, the Stanhope House in Stanhope, New Jersey, and Anchorage, Alaska's Chilkoot Charlie's and plan on embarking on a tour not limited to the venues listed previously.
Crobot is:
Brandon Yeagley - Vocals, Harp
Chris Bishop - Guitar, Vocals
Sam Grim - Bass
Tony Kobel - Percussion

Crobot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
World of radiation
Human mutation runs rampant
Magic
Made with the wave of his staff
With the crystal attached
Carried ‘crossed his back
Reptile hearts terrorize our lands
You gotta slay a few dragons before you get to the princess
The heavy-handed wizards!
You run away, run away, run away!
The heavy-handed wizards!
You run away, run away, run away!
Dream machines
Mechanical beings
Telepathically suppressing our freedom
Destruction
Droid execution
By the sword and the wand
Reptile hearts terrorize our lands
You gotta slay a few dragons before you get to the princess
The heavy-handed wizards!
You run away, run away, run away!
The heavy-handed wizards!
You run away, run away, run away!
Run!
Reptile hearts terrorize our lands
You gotta slay a few dragons before you get to the princess
The heavy-handed wizards!
You run away, run away, run away!
The heavy-handed wizards!
You run away, run away, run away!
Run!
The song "Wizards" by Crobot is a heavy metal song that depicts a world that has been ravaged by radiation and human mutation. The imagery in the lyrics is dystopian and foreboding. The first verse describes a wasteland where human mutation runs rampant. The second verse introduces the idea of magic, with a wizard character who wields a crystal-tipped staff to perform spells. The chorus is a warning to "run away" from the "heavy-handed wizards" who terrorize the land.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a commentary on how technology and progress can have a negative impact on society. The dream machines and mechanical beings mentioned may refer to the advances in technology that have not been balanced with ethical considerations. The heavy-handed wizards may symbolize the powerful individuals who manipulate and control others for their own gain. The references to reptile hearts and dragons suggest that the struggle against these forces is akin to a heroic quest.
Overall, "Wizards" is a heavy and intense song that combines gritty imagery with a warning message about the consequences of unchecked power.
