Other bands may cover their arms in tattoos, spikes and 1980s haircuts, but they will still not be able to beat these guys when it comes to being metal.

German metal band Compressorhead are made up of three 5ft tall robots, and brought down the house when they took the stage at the Robot Ball exhibition at ARTPLAY Center for Design in Moscow this weekend.

The world's only robot rock band comprises four-armed Stickboy on drums, Bones on bass, and 79-diggited Fingers plays the guitar.

Compressorhead's members are all built out of scrap metal and are controlled by electro pneumatics and make sweet rock happen thanks to Midi signals.

The band's version of Ace of Spades has been viewed more than 6.3million times on YouTube.

The month-long exhibition in Moscow features around 40 robots from across the globe, including Canada, the U.S., the UK, Asia, and New Zealand.
