He he, not too bad guitarwork there. The Pokemon on the mike stand cracked me up :lol:
Check out their blog for more goodies. That Sepultura-cover kills the original. Looking forward to hear some originals.

"Kid Metal" is seriously an interresting subject. Most releases have plenty of youthful energy and a rough edge to them that I really enjoy, for instance on Swedish 7"s like VAMPA, WIZZARD and WILDNESS, and both 7"s by NWOBHM-kiddies MITHRANDIR are charming as hell. My fave "Kid/Teen Metal" 7" would be MASTERWORK though. Honest, top-class Metal!

On the other hand there's also some recordings that are so bad and fucked up they become interresting for that reason alone. The ultimate example would be the kids on the Swedish compilation "Girls & Boys - Helges '87". SECRET METAL from this LP is a must-hear for anyone into twisted & original Metal. Read more here.

Were they included in the blasphemous "Incredibly strange metal vol.1" compilation that was released some years ago? I should re-check them out anyway.

DANGER CROSS Thrash metal from Greece which recorded two demos in the late 80's and participated in the 1989 compilation ''Greece Attacks'' with the track ''Only Death Is Real'' were at this time 15,14 and the drummer was 12!!!I have an interview with them from 1988 promoting also a live with VAAL/BEAUTY AND THE BEAST/MYSTERY in 1988.

Another young member was i think a WIZZARD's member about 12 old.
Also i know MINDLESS SINNER were quite young at the time they recorded their first EP.Any more to add?!?

Metalsteel, Slovenian heavy metal band, they started in 1999 when they were 9-12, and recorded first album in 2003 (13-16). The singer (born december 89) went on to Negligence (www.myspace.com/negligence), and the band remained as a four piece and recorded second album (review can also be found at metalpage.de). They also have a female drummer (since 02 or 03), but the first album aws recorded with a rhytm machine (she does it on the second one).

www.myspace.com/metalsteel

Song "Novi svet" is from the first album (2003), others are from the second one (2005).

I haven't heard them but the other day I read an interview of them. They were talking about the lack of talent in the death metal scene, the falseness of many deathmetallers, how true they are to their beliefs and generally they talked TOO much. I don't know how they sound like, but all these things stink. And probably they're as lame as it can get. Can anyone prove me wrong and upload a couple of their songs?

Unfortunately in Finnish only but some mp3 samples in there.

Oh, and the band have just signed a recording deal with EMI Finland.

Quite entertaining. But the singer? Is it 'she' or 'he'? :roll:
