Ross Robinson
From Free net encyclopedia
Ross Robinson is a music producer for acts such as KoЯn, Machine Head, Slipknot, Glassjaw, Sepultura, Cold, Limp Bizkit, Vanilla Ice, and others.
Due to his work with KoЯn, Slipknot, and Limp Bizkit, Robinson is widely regarded as "the godfather of Nu metal", though he has denounced the Nu metal movement for becoming complacent and the newer bands for not expanding on the style which he helped create with KoЯn's first album, KoЯn(1994). Robinson has also been successful in the post-hardcore genre, producing At the Drive-In's final and most definitive album, Relationship of Command in 2000, as well as Glassjaw's genre-defining albums, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence (2000) and Worship and Tribute (2002). Robinson has also worked with the likes of The Cure on their eponymous album (2004) and From First To Last on their album Heroine (2006).
His "name" producer status and reputation of commercial success with radio rock generated controversy with indie music fans when contributing to The Blood Brothers's major label debut "...Burn, Piano Island, Burn" (2003). In contrast to The Blood Brothers' previously raw, underproduced songs (which lasted about 90 seconds on average), "Burn Piano Island..." featured incredibly polished, radio-length material that many saw as signs of "selling out."
Robinson is the owner of the I Am Recording label.
