Robots and heavy metal should be a match made in music heaven, but this collab in China is as exciting as your grandma moshing to Megadeth on metoprolol

If there's one common aspect that ties all types of heavy metal together, it's got to be the sheer energy that it carries. Nothing else quite gets your pulse pumping, neck snapping and bowels banging like high-tempo thrash, grindcore, or a slab of doom metal. Adding the tech coolness of robots to it all should make for musical mana, but as one band in China recently demonstrated, it can just as easily make it musical mud.

Before you start thinking I'm being far too overdramatic here, it's best to check out the above footage from a music festival in China, taken earlier this month. The clip is from PNDbotics, a company that designs and manufactures a humanoid robot called Adam, and it seems to have decided that a collab with a popular band is a great way to showcase its achievements.
