...this gives a new meaning to the term, "Heavy Metal Babies". Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star, the company which creates "beautiful lullaby versions of your favorite artists," has just released "Lullaby Versions Of Iron Maiden" via iTunes. The 12-track set features reworkings of metal classics such as "Run To The Hills", "The Trooper" and "Fear Of The Dark". In its mission statement, Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star says, "We feel our lullaby line fills a vacant musical niche. There are other lines of pop music lullabies but we decided to take the approach of being high end musically rather than simply doing these as a novelty. After all, just because the music is for a baby it doesn’t have to sound unsophisticated. We feel we owe it to the artists that we are covering to do their music justice and our standard of quality transcends the lullaby genre. In fact, in addition to soothing babies our fans use our music for yoga, massage and sleep therapy or just general relaxation. We like to call them 'lullabies for all ages' and the diversity of use is testament to that." "Lullaby Versions Of Iron Maiden" track listing: 01. Run To The Hills 02. The Number Of The Beast 03. The Trooper 04. Hallowed Be Thy Name 05. Aces High 06. Fear Of The Dark 07. Wasted Years 08. Can I Play With Madness 09. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son 10.

VAN CANTO is an a cappella metal band from Germany, founded in 2006 and composed of five singers and a drummer. Although the group is often classified as an a cappella ensemble, they use real drums in their music, instead of vocal percussion or beatboxing. VAN CANTO fuses a cappella with heavy/power metal, creating what they call "hero metal a capella". While only two of the five singers perform the lead vocals, the other three will instead use their voices to imitate the guitars and the bass, with the help of amplifiers, in an attempt to sound closer to the original instruments.
