BraveWords.com is currently streaming a song from WARGASM bassist/vocalist Bob Mayo's ROBOT MONSTER ARMY project. Listen to 'We're All Going To Hell' on BraveWords.com's KnuckleTracks Online Audio Player - head to the left-hand-side of BraveWords.com to launch the player.

Recorded at Red Devil Recording in Stoughton, Ma, Robot Monster Army features performances by members of several legendary Boston metal bands, including MELIAH RAGE, ONLY LIVING WITNESS, GANG GREEN, STEEL ASSASSIN, FORMICIDE, TRIPHAMMER, TEMPORARY INSANITY, BAD KARMA and more. Mayo's old cohorts in Wargasm also appear. Close to two years in the making, the album is scheduled for release in early January, while two tracks will be released as singles before that: 'She's The Future' will benefit Rawkstars, a non-profit group that provides musical instruments and lessons to needy Boston-area children, while sales of the song 'Strange Angel' will target Autism Speaks, a non-profit dedicated to researching and spreading awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Both songs will be available via iTunes via in the next few weeks. 100% of all proceeds generated will benefit these organizations.

While Wargasm are primarily known as Boston's premiere thrash metal band, having released three highly-acclaimed albums between 1988 and 1995, the 12 songs included on the Robot Monster Army album offer up something decidedly different. "I hope the music has a late-'70's metal vibe", says Mayo, who wrote all of the music and lyrics himself. The entire project has the 'feel' of a re-issued '70's hard rock record, complete with 2 'bonus tracks', one of them live. Live? Hmmm. "It wasn't actually recorded live; we faked it. I really wanted this to come across as a re-release of a late-'70's rock album, with a couple of 'obscurities' added on to the re-master".

Of course, a live song would be impossible, as there is no actual band behind the R.M.A. project. Mayo states, "It's purely a studio thing. But I got to work with my friends from the '80's and '90's Boston scene; these guys are the greatest group of musicians on earth. We all have similar musical roots, so everybody really shines on this material."
