This metal band from Brooklyn, where hardly anything else is in their mother's milk apart from hip hop and where biohazard is a thing of the past, first caught the eye a few weeks ago with a few videos of street music gigs where they just played the Totally tore Times Square apart. The boys from «Unlocking the truth» are in the sixth grade and are 12 years old! And the louts have it all, the style they use is unusual and according to them, rap is boring! I hope they remain true to themselves and aren't sold off and ironed out by some producer as an internet phenomenon. Brilliant how the little one gets his guitar pregnant, something reminiscent of Hendrix. Above is a portrait of the band from the AvantGarde Diarys, taken before new bassist Alec Atkins joined Noisy is giving an interview with "Unlocking the truth» and below you can admire a TV appearance on Fox› FX› Totally Biased. The party has just started for the boys. The only question I ask myself is: Is this «Real Black Metal»?
Unlocking the Truth, a metal band composed of twelve year old Malcolm Brickhouse and eleven year old Jarad Dawkins, is playfully arguing about which member can play a faster and more forceful rendition of their self-composed instrumental blast "Physical Therapy." While Jarad is technically the drummer (he mastered the instrument by the age of two), he is convincingly demonstrating his guitar chops. Being the precoucious, and yet consummate, professionals that they are, the band wants to make sure that in a worst case scenario - say, a member fainting onstage - each could play the other's instrument flawlessly.
It is not atypical for unlocking the truth to practice for up to ten hours on weekends. They are so immersed in their music that they barely notice anything going on around them, including their parents, who usually have to force them to stop practicing when it's bedtime. While their classmates mostly listen to radio pop or rap, Malcolm and Jarad's enthusiasm for metal was nurtured while watching generous amounts of WWE professional wrestling.
