Hevisaurus (childrens' metal)

[King Ian]

Encyclopaedia Metallum - Hevisaurus
"While the real names of the actual line-up have not been released, among the artists on the full-length album are Mirka Rantanen (Thunderstone), Jens Johansson (Dio, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Stratovarius), Henrik Klingenberg (Sonata Arctica), Mikko Kosonen (Maija Vilkkumaa), Nino Laurenne (Thunderstone) and Mikko Salovaara (Kiuas)."




Pretty interesting haha. I already like it. Hopefully their album will be even better.

Yeah, our society here in the states would be too afraid to have a heavy/power metal band aimed at the "impressionable youth." Too bad.

I don't think the UK would be up for this either, the music here is way too R'n'B-ish unfortunately, plus the media's (radio and tv) are too uptight to play this sorta stuff

I actually like the second one! I dont understand the lyrics but the music doesnt sounds like stuff just for kids.I like the power/folk metal mix! Light years better than Hannah Montana

This is pretty funny. I guess the finnish kids love this. Better than Barney.

I have a feeling that this didn't take off.

its amusing, but to be honest, I wouldn't want my child growing up on Metal.

I would be somewhat worried for anyone under 12 listening to say...Cannibal Corpse. Metal at the surface is still negative and I don't think the average metal head makes a good role model. I would rather have my kid grow up normally and discover it own his own when he's older.

You know what's children's metal?

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed that.

My brain hurts after reading the comments though, in particular this:

my dad new these guys well he new the guitarist and the drummer and dudes he said that when they were in his band back in the day they were really good and now they do this thats just sad right now im a musician its a gene from my dad i guess i can say and im good and im not gonna turn out like this let me point this out that any out there dont turn out like this please cuz my dad says that it is a shame cuz they were good when they were in his band and now look at them... sad

This makes the grammar nazi inside of me rage! My favorite part, the only punctuation he uses in that entire diatribe is an ellipse... at the very end.

The tunes sound fine as instrumentals, but I don't understand a word said and all I get is this Lazy Town pedo vibe from the vocalist.

I disagree but I see your point

Also: That big yellow guy at the end of the Kideo video (lol) sounds like he has Down's Syndrome

Reminds me of the American Dad episode about the rapture Slow Janitor: "Urrr...I nevor acturlly gave moisef to jezus..."

That Kideo band is the shit though, I'll find some CD's and play them when I have kids!

I understand your point, but I suppose it does depend on the genre itself. Of course most death/black is negative and rather obscene for younger audiences. Genres like Power Metal though (like Hevisaurus), seem to be more about geek/nerd culture, historical ramblings and/or general story telling which seems rather appropriate for the age group IMO.
