In celebration of Children's Week, we decided to compile and revisit the best Wikimetal articles featuring children. In no particular order, here is our list:
11. Children sing metal music at talent show.
The children's sensation in Metal is undoubtedly the duo Murp, formed by siblings Aaralyn and Izzy. The duo became a worldwide sensation after their appearance on "America's Got Talent," the American talent show on NBC. Surprising the judges and the show's audience, the 9- and 6-year-olds performed a Heavy Metal song they composed themselves, titled "Zombie Skin."
In 2013, students from Loveland Music Academy in Colorado gained attention on YouTube for the quality of their studio-recorded performances of Iron Maiden songs.
09. 4-year-old girl plays Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden and AC/DC.
In May 2014, a young Brazilian girl became a YouTube sensation. Eduarda Henklein, from Santa Catarina, at just 4 years old, was already mastering Iron Maiden, AC/DC, and Guns N' Roses on the drums.
08. Bruce Dickinson visits children's rehabilitation center.
In June 2015, in his first public appearance after the announcement of Iron Maiden's new album "Book Of Souls," vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited the Nordoff Robbins children's rehabilitation center. Dickinson sat with the children at the center and played music with some of the patients. The Nordoff Robbins program provides musical assistance to children with developmental difficulties and neurological conditions.
One of the biggest revelations of child metal came at the end of 2013, with the trio Unlocking The Truth, who conquered the internet with a video of a live performance in Times Square.

02. James Hetfield plays with children.
In 2013, one of the greatest icons of Metal, guitarist James Hetfield, was honored at a charity event in California. Hetfield received the "Livin' The Dream" award for his contributions to the Little Kids Rock institute, which donates musical instruments to public schools.
