Welcome to the Program

Metal Robot is the place for all things metal and everything in between! From videos, to podcasts, we’re dedicated to reviewing albums in an engaging, entertaining, and not so serious way. Started in 2016 from one YouTube channel, we’ve since branched out and will continue to evolve like a computer virus.

Tom McKay is the host/creator of Metal Robot Reviews. Born in Ontario, Canada in 1997, he spent his early life being brought up on music that his dad listened to, predominately The Beach Boys and Bon Jovi. After his dad remarried, Tom’s step-mom began exposing him to 80s metal, from Skid Row to Metallica. And from there, it was set. While he grew up with these influences, it wasn’t until 2010/2011 where he discovered Three Days Grace that opened up the doors to heavier rock music. From there, it was open season on other bands, quickly finding bands like Skillet, Avenged Sevenfold, and many more heavier sounds. By 2014 he had become obsessed with the world of heavy metal, even expanding his horizons further to death metal, black metal, and so many more. Mid-2016 rolled around, and Tom had been watching a lot of review based YouTube content, from The Rock Critic (now Crash Thompson), Rocked Reviews (now Rocked), and the Nostalgia Critic (now dead to me). Around this time, Tom’s love of music was growing, whilst also becoming unsatisfied with creating Let’s Play videos on his channel LBP 101. Thus, he decided to head down a different path. Thus, Metal Robot Reviews was born. Since it’s creation, Tom has been improving himself and his content through lessons he learned from creating, as well as lessons learned as a radio student at Mohawk College.
