Protomen, The
Entry updated 27 January 2025. Tagged: Music.
US pop-rock band formed in Murfreesboro, Tennessee in 2003. Their first two albums, The Protomen (2005) and its prequel Act II: The Father of Death (2009) are concept albums based on the Japanese Videogame Mega Man (1987) and its sequels. It is set in a Dystopian future in which Doctor Light builds the Robots Proto Man and Mega Man to fight the oppressor Doctor Wily and his army of robots. The band have performed and recorded tribute concerts to Queen, and enlisted the services of Meat Loaf producer Alan Shacklock for the second album, which indicates the cheerfully retro, rock opera nature of their music. William Shakespeare Presents: Terminator the Second (2013) is a soundtrack to a television remake of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) with dialogue entirely taken from the plays of William Shakespeare.
