  • Producer Ross Robinson brings life to the dead.
    Dubbed the “godfather of nü-metal,” his raw, unvarnished production on albums by KoЯn, Slipknot, and Sepultura redefined heavy metal by stripping away the glitz and glamour of hair bands still partying on the Sunset Strip in favor of a new sound marked by anger, intensity, and honesty...

    The singular universal truth that Ross Robinson has continually rediscovered is that nothing stays the same. Not our bodies, not this earth, not this galaxy, none of it will last as it is right now.
    "I can depend 100% on my ideas, thoughts and opinions changing," Robinson says, taking a momentary breather from capturing another raw performance at his home / studio. "I'm basically a constant liar because if I think I know something, I'm lying, although at the time, I really believe it."
    And thus Robinson has arrived at what may be the pinnacle of recording music and perhaps life itself: the moment. Ross is in constant fluid motion, working feverishly to get musicians to lose themselves in the moment. To forget whatever might be on their mind, to lose focus in order to gain focus. It is, frankly, what Ross is known for. "I'm constantly trying to get people to not think," he explains.

    First two Slipknot records sound fucking massive, major props to Ross for that. Plus he's the man responsible for the "Gimme a scream, Corey! YEEEAAAAAAH!!!" exchange on Get This.

    From the stories I've heard about Ross, he's like the Gordon Ramsay of music producers. Super chill, nice guy that's fun to be around when not recording. But once you're in the studio, he's a fucking nightmare.
    And I fucking love it.

    Ross seems to be legendary for pushing musicians to their physical and emotional limits and then taking it an extra mile. Every record he records is mixed well obviously, but theres also an emotional intensity in the tracks that many records lack. The man makes great records.

      There are stories of him pushing members of Glassjaw and At the Drive in to the edge with his emotional manipulation, for example telling the recently bereaved drummer of one to play the kick like it was keeping his Grandmother's heart going.

    I’ve always loved what RR brings to the party - those early nu-metal albums really ‘formed’ me as a kid. Slipknot’s ‘IOWA’ is still one of my all-time favourite metal albums. I don’t think you can get much better from a raw, recorded performance than that.

      Absolutely. He even produced their demo for the band Creep around 1992, which was their band name before they found JD and created Korn. Most real Korn fans know about Creep, L.A.P.D, and Sexart though so I'm sure you know about Creep.

      Rich Robb Ross was a producer who was capable of pushing you to do your best to the point of blood, sweat, tears, and in Slipknot’s case, vomit. So glad this guy pushed so many artists, without his help we wouldn’t have Korn or Slipknot made it into the nu metal era. “Just go and go until the craving is satisfied.”
