Marilyn Manson gave some young rockers a night they would never forget recently, bringing out eighth grade metal band sensation Unlocking the Truth at a recent gig in Pennsylvania. Malcolm Brickhouse, Alec Atkins and Jarad Dawkins joined the shock rocker for his 1996 hit, "The Beautiful People." The metal trio jumped around the stage, singing the chorus of the song and basking in Manson's scary glory, Consequence of Sound notes.
The boys are without their instruments, so they look a little out of place as far as their stage presence. At least at the beginning anyway. They warm up to the frenzied crowd, with one member even completing an awesome stage dive toward the end of the performance. Check out the video below and try not to get too jealous.
Unlocking the Truth inked a record deal with Sony in July that could be worth upwards of $1.8 million. They received initial exposure the good old fashion way (sort of)...by playing on the streets in Times Square and posting footage to YouTube. The clip went viral and the band got themselves a manager.
The Manson appearance is another in a long line of awesome collaborations for the band. They've opened for Guns N' Roses, Motorhead and Queens of the Stone Age so far. They've also played Coachella and are scheduled to perform at Bonnaroo and Rock on the Range later this year. Last year, the group also showed off their skills on The Colbert Report.
The band's debut EP, Free as You Wanna Be, is available for pre-order.
"Unlocking the Truth's goal is to become one of the world's best metal bands, and with their music, they want people to know that they could do what they want, no matter who they are, or what people say," the band's website reads. "Metal is in their blood."
