Non-Vocal-Synth Singing Robots Mikudayo Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 06:16 PM No.3405

Here's a thread to discuss singers/bands/performers that are singing robots that are NOT commercial vocal synths.

Starting off with arguably the FIRST singing robot band ever, Kraftwerk.

I know. :3
From around The Man Machine album all the way to present day, they did sometimes present as "robots" on stage and did sometimes use vocoders to sound like such. That is, when herr Ralf or herr Karl weren't singing.

This thread is for artists who present as robots and maybe use vocoders or synths although they themselves are real people, probably should have clarified that in the OP sorry

First to come to thought is mind.in.a.box which every song a vocoder is used in vocals

My favorite song from them is actually a feature (vidrel) but they have a few songs where they actually sing (Harder Better Faster Stronger being the most popular of those).

Based. Human After All is a really underrated album.

I remember getting this "Compressorhead" band in my youtube recommendations many years ago. It's a metal band made up entirely of robots, real ones, not guys in robot costumes like Daft Punk. They apparently have played live shows too.

These guys don't just play heavy metal, they ARE the heavy metal

Always wondered how the hell these work. Clearly the instruments they play are real, so does a computer just sends midi signals to the robot itself or something?
