It’s always enjoyable to watch a group of upcoming artists adds their own flair to an excellent rock or metal song. The U.K. is a prime example. group Beyond the Sons, whose stunning new rendition of Ghost’s “Square Hammer.”
The kid rock band described themselves as “12-14 year old kid shaving the time of our life playing rock” when they shared their clip to Twitter on Wednesday (Oct. 12). Adorably, they even imitated Ghost’s distinctive ritualistic style in their tweet:
“[MESSAGE TO THE CLERGY] We, the children of the UK share with you @thebandGHOST our cover of Square Hammer. / Apprentice Papa.”

Before that, Avenged Sevenfold’s “Afterlife,” My Chemical Romance’s “Famous Last Words,” and Shinedown’s “Sound of Madness” were attempted by Beyond the Sons.
