7	Unlocking the Truth is a HeavyMetal band from Brooklyn, UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. They're known for their ImprobableAge -- they started the band when they were barely '''7 and 8''', and released their debut album at 14 and 15. They've gotten off to a steady start over the years by playing at various shows and events, including Coachella (notably holding the record for being the youngest act to preform at the festival), Heavy Montreal, and Bonnaroo. Additionally, they've supported acts such as Music/{{Motorhead}}, Music/MarilynManson, Music/GunsNRoses, Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge, and Music/LivingColour.

9	Their music is a mix of various retro styles, all [[GenreMashup seamlessly blended together]]. This includes traditional HeavyMetal, SpeedMetal, ThrashMetal, and (of all things) NuMetal. The combination actually works, and have gained a following from all camps.

21	* BlackAndNerdy: They give off this vibe, especially since two of the members have glasses.
22	* GenreMashup: A mixture of various retro styles from the '80s and '90s, with some modern touches. A bizarre hodge-podge of trad, speed, thrash, and nu blended with AlternativeRock.
23	* ImprobableAge: As stated in the description. The three members in the band released their debut album before they were even old enough to drive. Also, as mentioned, they hold the record for being the youngest act to play at Coachella -- and they're a metal band!
24	* MetalScream: Malcolm can pull these off rather well.
25	* RockTrio: They were a duo during their early years but became this when Alec Atkins joined.
26	* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: Inverted. You wouldn't expect three kids barely old enough to be in high school to preform heavy metal.
27	* TeenGenius: See ImprobableAge.
28	* TokenMinority: One of the few all-black metal bands.
29	* TrueCompanions: They've been preforming together since kids in 2007.
