The number of child prodigies in rock and metal is growing every day – and this cover of Korn , performed by a band of children with a vocalist who is only six years old, is proof of that.
While Gene Simmons of Kiss believes the musical style is dead and KK Downing of KK's Priest fears that heavy music will become a page in the history book in the future, talents like bassist Sebastian Stephens (9 years old), guitarists Sam Ruether (14) and Dominic Donile (15), drummer Nick Peacock (18) and the young vocalist Michael Dalhover III (6) are great news.
Even with his voice still high-pitched, quite different from Jonathan Davis , Dalhover puts on a show of attitude, pitch, and breath control as he electrifies the track from the album Untouchables (2002), released 13 years before the young fan was born.
This cover is part of a series launched by the O'Keefe Music Foundation , an American foundation specializing in promoting free music education for children and teenagers, which records these versions with children's and youth bands to raise funds.
Before this Korn version, the children from the institution had already presented amazing covers of "Roots Bloody Roots" by Sepultura and " Before I Forget" by Slipknot , both with girls as young as eight years old on vocals.
